Background on car. Now has 127,000miles
Uses about 1 quart every 7500 miles since new. Especially with high speed driving.
I noticed a very small amount of oil on lower right side of engine.
Not enough to get any drops on the driveway.
But obviously enough to get on the side of the engine/timing cover.
The only thing I can think of other than coincidence is that when the oil pump was replaced under warranty at 50,000 miles they didn't put enough hondabond on the cover?
there are 3 10mm bolts holding it on.
Can I just take the cover off, clean and reapply the FIPG/Hondabond?
Does anyone know if the oil level is at or above the inspection cover? Should I drain oil first?
Thanks in advance!
