I purchased my 1999 Acura RL the beginning of the year and now i see that it has an oil leak. The splash shield of the bottom of the oil pan are always cover in fresh oil but I can't seem to find the source. I have several pictures i've taken of the oil pan if anybody sees something that doesn't look right could you point it out I do work on my own car so I want to fix the problem asap. there is a small opening by the oil pan but I do not know if that belongs there or if that is where the oil is leaking. Thanks

Looks like a normal problem on RLs.

Looks like a leaky rear main seal. I've never had to replace one before on either of my RLs, but i know it's a job for you if you know what you are doing or a job for someone at a shop who can hook you up with a good deal... otherwise, top it off and keep going.

That is what I've always been told. It's not enough of a leak to worry too much, but if you're like me, you hate seeing that. I'll see what i can find about it to do it yourself.
