How To Fix 2001-2005 Honda Civic Common Oil Leak

[@lancekirby5725]

Thank you for this video sir, I had the exact same leak and pools up oil. I didn’t even know about that plug. You saved me alot of time not taking off the valve cover. Thank you again.

[@Change4ADollar]

Glad the video helped you out ...

[@SummerEaze]

Thanks for detailing the locations of the leak trail-found residue all over the base of oil pan & transmission. I had noticed oil residue in the same areas on our Civic during my oil change today. I was dreading thoughts of possibly doing an oil pan gasket swap. I just have to check the EGR valve for any oils too before I replace it. Thanks for making this vid man! I would be so relieved to find this vs a oil pan gasket repair.

[@FutureDreamZz]

Summer did you find out what it was I’m about to do this as well

[@shadetreemech290]

Even with the bouncy camera work I may have found my leak. Thanks 👍

[@Change4ADollar]

Hey i already know my camera work sucks lol! I need a camera person while i do the work, it's hard to do both. The camera be slowing me down, but glad you found it, and thanks for watching by the way...

Hi! I really love the video well explained, it’s possible to get the two thing written please. I would I appreciate. I want to do the same work on my Honda! Thank you!!!

[@Change4ADollar]

Hey buddy just take your time, even pause the video in between steps. You can do it...

[@jamesholden665]

Dude I got my Civic running while watching video and I thought that was my power steering or alternator belt make sound Glad it was you not me.

[@Change4ADollar]

lol...

[@leecountycopwatch81]

Thanks man I’m gonna check my car to see if this is the problem. I think it is

[@Change4ADollar]

Cool! Let me know how it work out....

[@shlomogoldenstein344]

I’m hoping this is the problem, I just replaced the Vtec solenoid on the back since I got a p1259 code and sure enough I test drove it on the highway the oil pressure light blinked once the car sputtered a bit and the code came back on the minute I went over 60 on the highway, kind of bummed I replaced the solenoid for this to pop up again, from what you showing my leak looks just like that and I notice oil is still leaking and burning off at the bottom, thank you for showing my this I’m going to try and get the o ring Do you have a link for the part numbers for both the ring and egr gasket?

[@Change4ADollar]

No you have to google it but let me know if it fixed your problem....

[@shlomogoldenstein344]

@@Change4ADollar forgot to mention I actually just replaced this back in November and put some gasket maker on it. It actually was just that. Car has been bone dry and holds all the oil. Thank you, this saved me paying a grand to replace the other seals in the engine block.

[@Change4ADollar]

@shlomogoldenstein344 Cool! Glad everything worked out for you....

[@dumbcivicvlogger9370]

would you reccommend emptying your oil first, or does it not really matter?

[@Change4ADollar]

I didn't empty mines, but i'm sure it won't hurt if you did just don't make a mistake and start it up....

[@dumbcivicvlogger9370]

@@Change4ADollar lmfao ive almost done that before

[@WickedG5150]

Great work, Sir!

[@Change4ADollar]

Thanks...

[@danistar23]

Thank you for this tutorial, What is the function of this seal, Is this seal access for another bolt inside or something like that? thank you

[@Change4ADollar]

It is responsible for sealing the end of the engine's camshaft or camshafts between the top of the cylinder head and the valve cover gasket. When they start to fail you will begin to leak oil... Hopes that help you get some time of idea thank you....

[@jenniferrios9606]

What is the white next to the battery? I’m missing my cap cover for that

[@Change4ADollar]

That's the radiator coolant reservoir you definitely need a cap for that....

[@PlatinumSpirit]

Yes it must be a clean gasket or it's not going to be a good fit💯

[@Change4ADollar]

Exactly!

Where can I get this piece or what is the piece called

Did you find out?

cylinder head plug

[@97widerider]

how many miles you got on that civic and when did you replace the timing belt?

[@Change4ADollar]

200k plus, and never changed it...

[@97widerider]

@@Change4ADollar Nice, Just having mines done at 135k and 20 years later. You just never know. I think they are rated for much longer and more miles than Honda states in manual.
