When I was doing my timing belt I was going to replace the crank seal, but after looking underneath it appeard oil was coming from every where. Oil pan, Oil filter, crank seal for sure. I siad piss on it. It does not leak enough that requires me to add any beween oil changes. I think it would require a great deal of work to solve this and probably not worth it on a car with 257000 miles.
Mine barely leaks any after 338k miles. It doesn't leak enough to drip or leave any puddles on the ground, just makes the oil pan a lil wet cuz the pan gasket has a lil leak (hey it's original, so it's really no suprise). The rear crank seal was leaking a bit too, but I replaced that at 321k when I did the clutch. I'm gonna do the pan gasket soon. I still only go through about 1/2 quart of synthetic every 5000 miles. Can't complain.... I see alot of newer cars with ALOT less miles, with much bigger oil leaks than mine.
i have 250,000 and i leak a tad, about the same as jared... not enough to leave oil on the ground. and i use 10w30, but i am about to start using 15w50 as advised by a few people...
I have 242,500 and don't leak or burn any
Mine has 206k on it and doesn't leak any oil at all......... not to say i haven't fixed a bunch of leaks when I first got it though
299k and almost a quart gone after 5k.
296,000 miles and I leak jusr enough to leave a drop hanging from the bottom of the oil pan (my oil pan gasket is bad also). I leave a drop on the ground about once per week, but between oil changes there isn't a major loss.
its not an accord but my civic doesnt leak any oil after 230k ...dosent burn any either
240k and mine uses oil and leaks oil due to the previous owners.
my 3g had 233k or something like that and it didnt leak oil but had extreme blow by through the valve cover due to bad piston lands
211k and it didnt have any oil probs.
If you are doing the timing belt make sure you get the cam seal; when it leaks, it will go all over and make it look like the crank seal, oil pan, etc.
I have a honda Accord its a 89 lx 4 door, and it has 197K on it and i doesn't leak oil.Quote:

I'd recommend going to 10w40 instead, unless your rings are really worn. 50 weight oil is really thick.Quote:

shit i just got an 86 lx and the only place its leaking oil from is the valve cover gasket no place else it has around 265thou btw i got it for $175.00 today runs great
201k and it doesn't leak a drop. I have replaced the distributor o-ring and the rear crank seal though.
273,000 and leaking like a bitch!
220,110 no leaks and doesn't burn oil, its all good
229k used to leak like a bitch and smoke, got it ghetto fixed (slick 50, good oil gasket): a few drops per week on the ground.
Say Jared, 339k is a LOT of miles. Do you have a new motor?
I thought I would be lucky pull my baby through 250+, but now I have a new goal ;)
