The tend to look like there's a leak because of the drippy mess below the oil filter. http://www.hondasuv.com/members/show...t=burnt+valves 'Curly' |

Thus far anyway so what are you worried about? just snug it up a little [not too much] and tell them you'll wait until it leaks more. and use an oil like castrol - it has decent seal conditioners in it, and that works for gaskets too. |
