94 Prelude h23a
Hi all,
This will be my first post to this group =). My question is, I just got my front seal done a month ago. Now every so often when I'm idling or stopped at a red light, with the blower motor on, I catch a whiff of oil. my friend said (he's never owned a Honda, don't even know if he's driven one) that it may be my pcv valve. Can anyone with greater knowledge than my friend or I give me some insight? Thanx all Paul |

Have you looked at the engine to see if there are any leaks? Check the valve cover area where oil might leak on to the hot exhaust manifold. Oil pressure sender might be leaking. It's above the oil filter. bob |

Happens all the time. Look with a flashlight, after dark, hot engine. 'Curly' |

It doesn't seem to be leaving any spots anywhere. I haven't actually done a
visual inspection yet. I'll check it out tomorrow, it's just been so dang cold around here lately!
