Does anyone have an engine digram for a 97 TL 2.5? I am having oil leak issues and wanted to look at the diagram to see if there are any areas I can look at. I can't pin point the area of the leak rigth now as the engine is very dirty so its hard to track down the point of failure. I've looked all over the net for this.

Thanks ahead of time.

I had oil leaks from distributor, valve cover, spark plug tubes, and oil filter base fitting.

The worst to repair was the oil filter base fitting under the intake manifold. Pretty difficult to access, but do-able. Look under the intake manifold where the filter mount base meets the engine block. If you see oil below this point, your oring seal is leaking. New oring is a few bucks, but installation is 2-3 hrs of hard effort and many foul oaths on the engineers who decided this was a good place for oil filter.

The download manual has some good pictures of oil filter, but I didn't see any of general engine assembly. It's worth the time to download if you haven't already.

good luck

TexasHonda, thanks for the info. I have replaced a few things already and I know of how much of a pain the the *** it is to do anything.

Where can I download the manual?

Thanks,
