03 accord oil leaks
I have 4cyl LX only 7000 miles so far. I have three leaks. One is coming from the valve cover gasket, the second leaking is coming from the breather line, the third leak is coming from the join between the tranny and the engine. I took it to the dealer and have them fixed.
The breather line is leaking again now. I will take the car in again. Honda has two more chances before I try the lemon law.
This is my first honda. It does not look too good for me.
Do you guys have any problems with your 03 accord?

I got my check engine light on when I just passed 5k miles. Then, it turned off by itself in less than 24 hours. Two weeks ago, it came on again for 24-48 hours then the darn light turned off again.
I took it in for 10k service, then mentioned about the darn light. The dealer said that the computer keeps track of the error codes. It says that the car needs a new catalyc converter. They are going to call me when they have it in stock.
I am just wondering what could cause it to fail on my car. I always use Shell 87 from the start. Hmmm....

No. All 03 Accord's can use 87 even the V6.
My car could be the first batch coz I got it in Oct'02. I got no choice..... my 96 TL 2.5 Premium got transmission breakdown at that time. I was narrowing the choice between 03 Accord I4 coupe, 02 VW GTI 1.8T or 02 Matrix XRS 6 sp
