I saw some oil splatter under my hood today. I first saw a small drip under car but saw splattered oil under hood when I checked oil (which was not low). I wonder if the oil filter went bad (had this problem in Feb after a Jan oil change and I wonder if that place was just a bad place). However, I also saw on internet where someone noted possible motor mount issue, and I remember Honda dealer had tried to get me to change that last year (but even they noted not needed right then).

    HONDAS HAVE ALOT OF DIFFERANT AND POSSIBLE OIL LEAK CAUSES. IT COULD JUST BE THE OIL FILL CAP. IVE SEEN ALOT OF VALVE COVER LEAKS AND WHEN THE TIMING BELT IS REPLACED THERES TWO SEALS THAT SHOULD BE CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME IF THE CAR HAS HIGH MILEAGE. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO TAKE IT TO SOMEBODY WITH THE SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT TO DIAGNOSE IT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST ! IF YOU DONT KNOW A MECHANIC IN TAMPA ILL BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT HERE. MY CELL 727 692 6589 LEAVE A MESSAGE PLEASE .
