I OWN A 1998 HONDA ACCORD COUPE, LX V6, 3.0 L. I STARTED TO NOTICE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE GROUND, AFTER SOME TIME I SEE A SMALL AREA, AND WHEN I SMELLED AND FELT THE DRIPPING ITS LIKE A COMBO OF OIL AND GAS. IM TRYING TO LOCATE A DIAGRAM OF THE GAS LINE. CAN THIS BE A DIY JOB? i DO NOT HAVE A LIFT , BUT A FILM OF LIQUID IS MAINLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE???

SOURCE: Leaking oil from distributor (small amount of oil)

Is it leaking arond it? Replace oring seal. Is it leaking from where the cap seals the the distributor? Replace the distributor.

SOURCE: 96 Honda Accord won't start.

Check three things:
1. Oil is being "siphoned" by the flow of air when you drive (like a whistle)
Is the oil dipstick missing? or hanging out a little?
2. There may be too much oil in the crankcase. Turn OFF engine, clean oil dipstick and then check oil level. Too much oil will be drawn onto the engine.
3. The rubber seal around the PCV valve is compromised. Replace PCV valve ($6 AutoZone)

Questions: When you try to start the engine, what does it do?
nothing?
click?
the starter spins?
Do headlights stay ON when you try to start?

Testimonial: "Thanks for the tips. Am purchasing PCV valve. Starter only cranks, won't start. The oil registers low."

SOURCE: how to remove starter from 1998 honda accord

Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Caution: If you have an anti-theft radio, make sure you have the activation code before disconnecting the battery.

Remove the battery and battery tray from the engine compartment (remove the battery first, then remove the bolts for the battery tray and remove it.).

Remove the lower radiator hose and the wiring harness from the starter bracket. Make sure they are positioned out of the way.

Clearly label, then disconnect the wires from the terminals on the starter motor solenoid (the smaller cylinder attached to the starter). Disconnect any clips securing the wiring to the starter.

Remove the mounting bolts (two) and detach the starter (pull it gently out of its housing).

Reverse this procedure for installation.

Hope this is of help to you.
