I am leaking oil I know for sure and I am pretty sure its the oil pan gasket. But I recently noticed a dark greenish leak.. I am not sure which fluid this is. I checked brake and powersteering and those seem to be fine. I guess I will check oil and tranny fluid next. I did recently get my fluids changes at ACURA. i wonder if they left something loose. And to make things worst i moved so I am not near that dealership anymore. So all help will be appreciated.

PS: i did seach.. it hasnt been that long since i been on here.

 

greenish is most likely coolant.

is it sweet smelling?

 

kinda.. prob tranny fluid huh... freaking stealership!

 

Trans fluid is red, green is prob coolant as the previous reply mentioned.

 

^like the above poster mentioned: tranny is red. coolant is green!

 

crabs knows what he's talkin about.

 

ck the drain bolt on rear of engine block
ck all hose clamps are tight,,common problem after service
and hoses are fitted correctly

how is the level in the coolant res bottle? overfilled and it will spit some out
and rad -when cold= filled up to top? rad cap good?

 

I went back out and looked at it. Looks like i have coolant leaking from the back of the motor and it may be mixing with the oil leaking from the oil pan gasket. For the life of me i couldnt imagine how I had green oil some where lol. I took some pics and hope this is my issue.


Back of the engine into the firewall look like. Looks as if its jacked under that little clamp thing. Any issues with replacing this hose?

 

Looks like heater coolant hose is leaking from the picture. Can you check where the leak comes from?

 

Thats Anti-Freeze 100% Sure.
Those are the Heater Core Lines, If the one leaking isnt the one with the Open/Close thingy then yes its easy. If its is, Then is gonna take you +30min to Replace.

 

A better pic. It only acts up when im running the AC and going in up a steep climb. I guess the pressure is causing it to loose pressure and start to over heat but it still leaks slightly during everyday driving. Are these at autozone? I need to replace this and stop wasting time before it gives out completely. The hose seems kinds stretched as well.

 

can you drive it to the zone- let them see what hoses it needs

 

I went and I replaced the hose. I burped the system and its still happening. I might need a new thermostat. I have a new radiator as well.

 

Just in case someone needed it.. This is my problem. Stuck thermostat that Acura stealership didnt change when my radiator was changed about a month and a half ago. And that same dealership adjusted my valves and my rear plugs all have oil in them. They did the work less than 20k ago. Thanks and I will never return.
