VTI-S engine oil leak with pics pls help

[voltscastillo]

i'm using about a gallon per month of oil now. rate of loss is high, and the oil drips on the floor show it.

please help me identify the source of the leak naman... pina angat ko na sa gas station and it seems to be coming from the top, but looking from the top, it seems to be coming from the middle of the engine naman, looking at the rocker cover, it seems to be coming from the right side lower portion.

some pics:

engine pic. no oil splatters naman sa taas thank god


left side rocker cover near airbox


left side lower near the exhaust manifold shroud


right side rocker cover. below the rocker cover is where it drips the most so i stuck my phonecam between the p/s hose and brake reservoir


and this is what i found:


i'm thinking camshaft oil seal.

or oil pan gasket + rocker cover gasket.

is it safe to assume na pag nagpa timing belt change makuha din itong leak na to? any other possible sources or ideas are welcome before dalhin ko sa casa/forcedspeed at magsimulang baklasin. ayoko ng nasty surprises medyo tight kasi budget.

thanks in advance.

good day sir, on my first impression, parang sa valve cover galing ang leak. it's better to clean it first then tingnan nyo uli kung san talaga galing ang tagas. you can use kerosene to remove the oil using an old tooth brush. para ma sure po kung talagang valve cover ang tagas. hth

malamang its either the camshaft or cranshaft oil seal yan. And your timing belts now swimming in oil. Sabay mo na lang change ng tatlong ito plus the belt tensioner.

[voltscastillo]

crank seal... hmm... good idea. pinapalitan din ba to sa usual timing belt change ng honda?

[mazingerZ]

I believe so. Kasi rumurupok din to as it ages.

pacheck mo na yan bro baka maputulan ka pa timing belt mas malaking problema yan

[Emong3]

pag nag palit ng timing belt kasama din palit ang mga sumusunod:

crankshaft oil seal
camshaft oil seal
tensioner
water pump

isang access lang ang lahat ng yan kaya better replace than wait for it to break down and cause more inconvenience...

Hi sir voltscastillo,

Newbie po ako dito sa tsikot and same lang po tayo ng auto.

Kahapon kakapagawa ko lang ng kotse ko kasi biglang tumagas ung engine oil sa auto ko.

Nung dinala ko sa autoshop ung leak pala is galing sa cam-shaft oil seal. Which is common daw na problem sa VTI-S na engine. So pinasabay ko na din ung palit ng timing belt kasi basa na ito ng langis.

Ngaun wala ng tumutulo na langis dun sa auto. Ano nga pala ung mileage nung kotse niyo sir? Mine is at 77+++km

Ito nga pala ung breakdown ng expenses ko.

Timing belt : 1900
Auto tensioneer: 3900
Crankshaft and Camshaft oil seal: 700
Headgasket: 1000
Timing belt: 1600

HTH

Opps na-doble lang sir edit ko na lang. Sa Hongly dito sa Sucat ako nagpagawa malapit na siya sa SM sucat. Pinapalitan ko na din ung water pump kasi hindi na din naman siya tatagal ng more than 100k na mileage so para isang gawaan na lang.

Baka makamura din kayo kung kayo ang bibili ng parts. Try going to HRC Banawe puro OEM din ung benta nilang parts.

Labor: 1900

Auto tensioner OEM: 3900
Crankshaft and Camshaft oil seal OEM: 700
Headgasket OEM: 1000
Water Pump GMB: 1550
Timing belt OEM: 1600
