Hello it's damn near 4 o'clock and I can' sleep bcuz of my back. I have replaced the rear main seal with a Vitron one from 440 source.com. Orange noodles on the sides of the retainer which I am sure have contacted the block. I used Hondabond up there where the retainer contacts the block. I have read the Roadcuda post back in May but, I needed to pull and paint the oil pan anyway. After that the leak was better, only about 5-7 drops after a drive. Now I noticed a trickle from the intake manifold. So, new valley pan, Hylmor HPF around the ports and Hondabond on the front and back and in the corners. Car on jack stands, up to temp, inspection cover off, and I see no leak anywhere. Only when I drive it for about 20 mi, and park it, it drops a little from the inspection cover area. Also the starter has some oil on in it. Where do I look next? Idiot light sensor, or maybe the breather. The oil filler cap/breather has some filter material in it. Does this need to be changed from time to time? Could this be a crankcase ventilation problem? I don't know, I'm old, but still a rookie.........Thanks, Jim
