My girlfriend just bought an 89 Civic with about 167K miles on it. The motor is stamped D15B2, with 2106782 stamped under that. The guy she bought it from put on a new head gasket, wwater pump, timing belt, and gave it some plugs, wires, and some fresh oil.
Now she has it, and we noticed a decent sized oil leak. I tried to look up there to see it, but couldn't find anything really. It is rolling down the oil pan, so I cleaned the pan off and had her drive SLOWLY around the block to see if I could find it then. It looks as though the oil is coming from the crank pulley.
I am not sure if there is a seal, or something that could be leaking right there. There is oil leaking from the valve cover, but I don't think the oil is leaking that far down. But there is so much shit in the way of looking at it, its hard to really tell. I dont want to pull the A/C compressor off, and all the belts and shit just to try to pinpoint the leak if it is gonna be something we cant afford to fix right now.
So I guess I am asking if anyone has any knowledge of where an oil leak might come from on this car. I'm a born Chevy guy, and I am a classic Chevy guy at that. Any help would be awesome. Pics are welcome. If you need pics or anything to help, I have that capability. Thanks in advance.
