K20 Honda Civic Si Oil Cooler Leak Results

[@jayosfa5639]

Good find. I had the same oil leak issue. Couldn’t find it and thought it was the Vtec solenoid gasket. Thanks oil cooler hose.

nice 👍 doing this right now. Did you add Honda bond or gasket maker?

I don’t think my k20a3 NA has an oil cooler, I have replaced the gasket filter and the 2 o rings on the vtec I’m still leaking from the area.???

Young GearHeads seems like you're having the same problem I am. Been looking for months trying to figure out what's wrong with that area. Do you have oil leaking onto you belt as well?

[@YoungGearHeads]

So we ended up replacing the whole vtec unit and boom! No more leaks, I guess there was an internal leak on the unit all the new rubber didn’t help. Just get the new vtec unit and be done with it. 🙌🏻

My brother just replaced his vtec solenoid as well! He actually got a engine light for it. It was leaking crazy oil

[@YoungGearHeads]

Dude we had oil drips everywhere we parked, and oil coated EVERYTHING!

vtec gasket?

[@YoungGearHeads]

Replaced the gasket and both O rings on the vtec unit and still had leaks.

how did you replace the gasket I'm having the same problem?

[@raw_pc]

You just need to disassemble the oil cooler. First take the filter off then two rubber hoses (drain the coolant from radiator first) then there will be a bolt holding oil coolant inside of it. After you take it off you will get to the gasket. Part number is 91316-PE7-730 for K20a2

@@raw_pc thanks sir!!

No turbo on ours so no oil cooler. Replace the whole vtec assembly with a new unit.
