U literally just taught me how to fix all the issues with my Honda

[WaynesNerdyWorld]

bought a 2003 honda accord a few weeks ago. The own said there were no oil leaks. The vtec solenoid threw a code. So i orded a new one. and went to replace it. And wouldn't you know it was leaking oil. along with the oil filter. probably going to replace the gasket on the valve cover soon just to be safe. car has 225000 miles on it. So im actually kinda impressed I didn't find more. But it was pretty well maintained. it was a one owner car.

Okay you made getting the vtech seniod off loom like a piece of cake. That sob took me an hour

[johnnysimes]

The VVT solenoids are known to form cracks in the casting. I just pulled one with three cracks in the top and two in bottom. Very faint and hard to see, but would leak a quart of oil about every 50 miles. Just replace the whole VVT solenoid, not the just the gasket. No leaks for me any more. The guy at the parts store said this is common and he's seen internal cracks which send metal chunks in to the engine. I knew the VVT was leaking from getting under the idling car and seeing oil drips from the VVT location.

Wow this is the real deal. I am taking my car tomorrow to my mechanic and show him this video

[dilithyuimwizard]

literally was only planning on doing my valve cover gasket and vvt solenoid. but i put power steering fluid in at least once a month. 03 accord as well. so might as well. gunna have to move that hose out my way anyways. great video.

I took my 2010 Accord with 139k miles on it to a trusted foreign auto repair shop yesterday for a bad oil leak.
I was thinking it would be a bad oil pan or gasket but he told me it was a solenoid today 😬
I'm glad because a pan or gasket replacement would cost more.
He told me $139 for part and over $100 for labor

Going on 210, 000 on mine, came here to figure out where my oil leak is coming

[markwolfe]

Great video. You get right to the point with all this stuff and my oil leaks are fixed now. I had 2 of them. Thank you☺️

The old power steering pump gasket apparently would just get hard and not able to properly seal and the new orange one is supposed to stay more soft and rubbery. Mine actually ended up sucking air in and bubble up the power steering fluid and it would over flow out of the reservoir, almost thought the transmission was going bad because it would make revving sounds as you accelerated

[agmood]

thanks for this - about to do the same basic stuff on a k23a1 (08 RDX) and it looks more or less the same. the RDX just has a bunch of extra stuff on top for the turbo. very helpful to see what the solenoid valve cover looks like back there.

What was the grease you put on the power steering O-rings? Lithium grease? I would imagine it's just going to dissolve in the oil. The orange O=ring fixes an issue with the intake hose on the pump. The flange only has 1 bolt for some reason. There are 2 holes bored on the pump.... Anyway, this causes the pump to suck in air from the leak around the Oring. This feeds the pump with air and fluid. By the time it comes out the steering rack back into the reservoir at low pressure. It's an emulsion, a soapy foam that overflows out of the reservoir around the air baffles in the cap. This is because when a fluid becomes a foam/emulsion. Its surface area will increase. It's an insanely simple system that bleeds itself through the reservoir "cap". But will have big problems if you have a leak on the intake pipe for the pump.

Excellent video exactly what I was looking for!

Donny I have an 06 honda accord with the 2.4 engine. I have one leak I'm having a hard time finding. The oil is getting splashed on my alternator. When I get under the card my passenger side frame is covered in oil. I've changed so many gaskets on my car to figure it out but I still have that one specific leak. I put a lower mileage motor in my car and changed all gaskets but the head gasket set.

Very good video, can clearly see what you’re doing . ❤🎉😊

[rlmurillo]

Great video, i need this job done on my 2005 CR-V K24 plus the oil pressure switch. Massive leak all over

[mikhailrylov]

As much as I love this video, because of same oil leaks on my Honda. I think I love the Irezumi you got a lil more

[Piercemxpx]

LOL these are literally my 3 leaks. I changed the valve cover & replaced the vtec solenoid recently, power steering is all that’s left.

[johnathoncastro]

I had all these leaks on my honda element plus the oil pan. Cost me about $2k!!!

[jesseruiz]

Always changed valve cover gaskets on B series motors all the time without Honda bond and my first K series engine I changed it and I had leaks everywhere so I guess I have to go back and put Honda bond on it.
