Hi I have a 2007 tl type s and it started gushing oil recently. I noticed it was small drops here and there but I was never able to find where it was coming from but recently it just started gushing oil. It’s not the oil pan, I already replaced it and the oil pan is clean so far.
This link is to an Instagram video of the leak since the file is too big to post here. I appreciate whoever followed the link to check it out and I appreciate any help in the comments.
P.S: I am not super mechanically inclined that’s why I’m asking for help lol.
So, let's recreate the scene...
The engine slowly dripped oil.
You are not super mechanically inclined, but you replaced the oil pan.
Now the engine gushes oil, but you don't think it's the pan.

See where this is going?
I had some help and got a new oil pan and sealed it nicely with HondaBond. As I was trying to say, it’s not coming from the oil pan. I been reading around and it might be a rear main seal or like maybe an oil pump leaking ? I’m not exactly sure how to tell.
you did the oil pan and you didn't look to replace the oil pump gasket... if it indeed is the oil pump, you're going to need to drop the oil pan all over again

I found the oil pan not so hard to do. However, how bad is the oil pump gasket ? I’m sure a few YouTube videos would help but any tips ?
