Oil leak while parked
My 89 Accord SE-I (a20a3 engine) is leaking oil while parked in the driveway
overnight. Will a bad oil pan gasket or rear main seal cause that? Is the oil level high enough to leak while just sitting there? Thanks, Forrest |

Or your neighbor's driveway, if it's spotless). Park the car cold overnight. Oil? Look at the drain plug first (please, Lord) and then the mail (no, Lord). No oil? Look at the pan gasket. -- - dillon I am not invalid The RMS Titanic sank on April 15th. US income taxes are due on April 15th. Coincidence? I think not. |

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President and died on April 15th. The 16th amendment to the constitution was for income tax ...... coincidence? Freeing the slaves was the 13th ..... bad luck? |
