So the joys of this car hits me again. On the commute to work on Monday I noticed a small thin trail of oil leading up to my car in the works carpark. I thought 'That's not good!' and took a quick peek under the car to see a pool of oil about 12" long and 6" wide. I VERY gently got the car home to find a VERY big trail of oil behind me all the way!
Anyways today I've taken the valve cover off and cam belt cover off and got a better look. First thoughts were the head gasket had given up but after a chat with a mate who has 2 Civics and an Integra he seems to think its the cam seal.
On the plus side the oil is heading out of the engine rather than water heading in(if it had been the headgasket).
Has anyone ever changed a cam seal themselves? Is it an easy job or am I looking at a nightmare?
