I've got 2003 Rl 3.5 leaking oil. I noticed oil on the bottom of the cat and on the top of the motor under the intake. Any ideas.
@carapprentice17 күн бұрын
It could be the valve cover gasket...or you could have a couple of leaks. I would clean with a degreaser then attempt to trace the leak to its source. UV dye for oil, which can be purchased at a local auto parts store, might be useful.

Hi Car Apprentice! It looks like I may have to go through this process on my 98 RL! When I separated my pads from the caliper I noticed rust inside of the hollow part of the piston. Hoping that it's just from the pads, which were worn down and rusted beyond belief. I'm never letting it get like that again. Thanks for putting up such great content!

You don’t need to remover several gears just the one with the black oring around it(bottom gear in 4:33) after that put petroleum jelly on the other gears to lubricant them, after that it won’t make any noise and it won’t auto eject like most units eventually do

Hey good video. I'm not sure if I have this problem on my 2004 Honda Pilot. Here's what it does and has ever since I bought it used in late 2019. With no AC or Heat or any climate control function on. Driving car in any weather, warm air comes out of all dash vents. In the winter months (Southern US) literally I don't have to turn on AC and turn knob to hot, but maybe for a couple minutes on freezing weather then turn knob back to coldest position and that will be the constant warm air with AC off. In the summer months AC works great with temperature knob all the way cold. One click turning knob off cold, air blows warm. / Now I did notice one time I had reached my destination with AC on and temp knob one or two clicks off coldest setting because I was freezing, then I cut the car off and when I returned and started car the AC was regulated comfortably above coldest setting. But once I turn temp knob, it's back to either cold only on coldest temp setting or warm air one click off coldest setting. And of course warm air through dash vents with nothing on. Also I do hear a large vent door flap closing or opening real hard in the back of vehicle when I first accelerate out of my driveway, don't know what that is or if it has anything to do with my issue. I know this was long, but any ideas you have on this would be good. Thanks.

Thank you, sir! I had rear struts replaced by my mechanic, and since then, there has been something sliding under the rear seat every time I accelerate or brake, and it’s been driving me crazy. 😂 I just went out and checked, and one side was already unlatched, so I proceeded to easily remove the seat bottom, along with a handful of loose change and a push pin.Then, I made sure the seat was latched on both sides, and hopefully, this solves the problem. Thanks again, I’m very appreciative of all of your RL videos. 👍👍
