Who has oil leaks?
Probably the hardest part about boosting your Honda, I have seen only 1 boosted car without any oil leaks, who else has leaks?
I have this one very small leak and I cant figure out for the life of me where it is coming from. Next season i'll get it on a hoist and run it to find out.

Ya, I spent an great amount of time ( an figure i'm too ashamed to disclose) trying to fix all my leaks, the first time I started up the car, there was a HUGE puddle in about 3 minutes. After much work and headaches, I have a VERY minimal leak, but its still annoying.

but back to topic....if you can't visually see it from top, you need to jack it up and check it from the bottom....hoist is needed asap!

I got leak somewhere in my oil return. But its not in my oil return. I think its my oil pan gasket. Since the oil pan is out the engine, I cold weld the fittings in and outsie the fittings and put liquid gasket all around between the oil pan and gasket and block and gasket just to make sure. I will put oil tomorrow and run the car and see if that fix my oil leak.

no wonder you guys have oil leaks. i welded a bung on my oil pan for the return. if your pan is aluminium, then it should be thick enough (and soft enough) for a drill and tap job with some teflon tape.
