New to the group and need a little help... Have a 96 Acura TL 2.5 and see a small little oil leak under the car. Took it to a place and was told it was in the oil filter housing/stand (but what is that)? The guy said the tech would need about 6 hours to fix it and about 700.00+ bucks.... If it is in the housing/stand is that a O-ring or something that could be causing the leak? Need help calling all Honda/Acura TECH's... THX

 

I would get under the car yourself and see. With a car that old, it may be the oil pan gasket. That isn't too hard to replace. I did it myself in about an hour on my car for $20 but the shop wanted $200 for the parts/labor. If you don't want to get underneath it, get a second opinion.

 

Hi?

I Highly Recommend to put eng. Oil Dye into motor and clean the bottom of the engine. Run it and see were it is leaking at...

Clean motor up you can spray foot power around the oil pan,oil filter area.

To pin-point the leak

have Fun

Hope this helps
