Hello, it's not "easy" but, it's doable.
You'll need to follow the instructions and don't take shortcuts. ask for help if you need it.
Use this link to get an idea of what is involved. Ignore the "remove transmission" part. It can be done without removing the tranny. If you decide to do this buy a service manual to help you. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

The tranny fluid on most cars and trucks is 30,000 miles ,as far as the engine oil if you use a good oil brand like Honda motor oil or even like Motorcraft they are a synthectic blend 5w20 and you can go 5,000 miles between oil changes.Now if your useing regular motor oil change it every 3,000 miles.Hope that helps

1988 honda acura legend keeps leaking oil dont know where from

You need to have someone you trust to look under your car for leaks. For that amount of oil loss the leak should show a trail of oil.

There is a rear main seal and it is where the transmission and engine join. Often the oil pan is in the vicinity of this part. Perhaps the repair was misdiagnosed and you actually had a bad rear seal leak instead. Depending on how this style seal is removed, it may require separating the engine from the transmission. Or the repair did not last and you should go back to have it corrected.

If there is no leak under your car, then the oil is going somewhere. The valve seals are the next most probable place.

I hope my solution is helpful, please rate my info.

Oil leak in 96 odyssey

Do you see a huge oil puddle under the car after it sits overnight (it would be huge!)? If no then the engine is burning the oil, you don't see smoke because the catalytic converter burns it up.

Oil leak at rear of engine seems to run down between transmission and engine only when it is running

That's called a rear main seal. It seals the crankshaft exit point where it enters the torque converter / transmission. If your leak is here on the rear main, then you'll need to pull the ****** to change it out. If your leak is higher up, it may not be the rear main, it could be valve cover, if its lower than that, it could be the oil pan gasket. SInce it occurs only when running, it sounds like the rear main though. sorry. :(

Oil leak where trans. meets engine. Is this the oil pan gasket? or the rear main seal?

Could be either. It's rather cheap to change the oil pan gasket if you do it yourself. That would be my first route. If its the rear seal you have to pull the trans or engine to replace.

I Have 2002 odyssey, the power steering leak, there is oil around it, and I have to refill it with oil every time it makes noise.

With the information provided I would venture a guess of a power steering pump that has bad seals and the oil is lost there. Or else there is a hose that has a hole. Star the engine and look at the power steering componets maybe you could see a leak and be able to say with certinty that the leak is detected and once thw leak is detected the leak might be repaired.

Rear engine oil leak....

Oil leak can be attributed to several factors.
1. Gasket failure.
2. Uncontrolled Crank case pressure Failure.

RECOMENDATION:
Tighten both the valve cover and oil pan bolts.
Replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve and vacuum line.,

INFO: PCV
This is a valve causes a negative vacuum on the engine while its running, As to say if it had a leak in a valve cover it should not be leaking while its running, only when the engine it turned off.

Hope this tip guides you in the correct direction to solve this problem.

Hi I have a 02 Honda Odyssey. Since I had teh

well oil consumption is either worn piston rings or worn valve guides and or seals,,,did they reuse the cylinder head that had the bent valves and just put new valves in it?if so i bet the vavle guides are damaged and the valve seals and oil is leaking by causing it to burn oil and thats why you have a ticking and oil consumption, i would take it back and demand a new cylinder head,,,for free
