Oil leak help
Post by rich12885 » Mon Jun 11, 2012 2:06 pm
Right I'm sure this car doesn't like me it has a bad oil leak which looks like it's coming from the back of the engine from the sensor below the oil filter.
It's a 2.2 vti manual p reg
Is it the oil pressure switch or something else

I would be surprised if its leaking from there - its threaded and has thread lock on. It is possible though - if its been changed.
Have you checked the oil cooler gasket? Could it be leaking from there and running down the block. These do leak.

I believe the o ring gasket on the oil cooler plate is a known weakspot (Part # 91316-PE7-730). If it is this, with the Oil Filter off use a deep socket (30mm I think) to take off the oil cooler, replace o-ring, and reinstall everything the opposite way.
You'd really need to clean that part of the block and then run it and trace the leak properly.

Can't find any decent pics man, but the oil cooler is basically the plate you screw the filter onto. It usually leaks from between itself and the block.

Rubber o-ring man, part number is in the post I added earlier. Only a couple of quid I think.

are you getting oil blobs dripping off the bottom of your gearbox casing? if so id say it was either -
vtec solenoid gasket
cam end seal (or end cap some call it)
run your finger under the vtec solenoid and i bet its covered in oil
ive just had this exact same problem! i initially thought it was the sensor you've described also
