3.2TL serious oil leak
Has anyone experienced this problem? Major oil leak between the tranny and engine. Yes i am aware it could be the rear main, but im also told it could me mounting bolts or oil valleys. Just wondering if anyone has delt with this and how they went about it?

Pray that it is the distributor. Not the rear main seal.

Don't think the 3.2's have distributor since they have coil packs.

No distributor, 3.2s are coil-over-plug.

Check the rear cam seals, otherwise chances are that its the rear main seal leaking.

I think Mr. TexasHonda had listed all the chances the oil could leak somewhere in here.
