I noticed that i have to keep filling my oil up, and I think i know where its leaking from. There's this bolt on the top of my valve cover that is always drenched with oil every time i refill the oil. see red arrow....


how do fix it!? I tried to tighten up that bolt but it seems as tight as i can get!!!

 

There should be a rubber seal under there that gets hard with age. You may try wiping off the valve cover just to make sure it's coming from there.

 

you probally need a new gromett, i would just go to Honda and get a valve cover gasket kit.

 

^agreed. just get a new valve cover gasket complete with grommets and that engine bay needs a steam cleaning session.

 

While your picking up the gasket set from the dealer, pick up some HondaBrite. Your engine will thank you for it later.

 

definatly needs a valve cover gasket kit! As well as about 8hrs of cleaning!

 

I have the sma kind of problem, except mine leaks because the 2 of the bolts that tighten down the valvs cover it self wont tighten all the way. The first time i took it apart and put it back to gether when i was putting 2 of the front bolts on its seemed as if they were stripped. Any suggestions?

 

put new studs in

 

Do you know where i can get the studs from or am i going to have to go to the stealership

 

They don't cost that much at the dealership.
