I have a 1987 Honda Accord that leaks a lot of oil from a broken seal that I have no clue where its at since I dont have an owners manual to help me out. I need to know the exact locations of where they are located at. I have replaced the Valve Cover Gasket, Oil Pan Gasket, and Head Gasket but there is a seal that I just can't locate and would like to know where all the seals are that may be broken thank you for your time i really appriciate it.

SOURCE: i have an 86 honda

There are two slots in the valve cover right by the cam shaft sprocket that have to be honda bonded or black rtv. look closely at the valve cover right above the gasket underneath the timing belt cover. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: I have a oil leak ever since i bought this car.

NO if you have been using oil and loosing oil from all the seals and rocker cover and sump gasket then its caused by a thing called BACK PRESSURE,and that is caused by the piston rings worn, or broken top compression rings and a lip in the bore causing the ring gap to be about
6thou per inch causing the back pressure which in turn blowes oil out of all seals and gaskets ..
So take out the breather pipe from the rocker cover and let it blow into a paper towel for 2 minutes and if oil fumes come out the rings are worn.
Plus get a compression test on all cylinders and see if there down to 100 PSI or less.
The new head bolts should be replaced as they could be streached
threads, but not your problem this time
Let me know how you get on ASAP Ron

1997 honda acccord check engine light will come on and starts sputter real bad

This sounds like bad sparkplug wires, pull wires off the plugs and see if oil is on wires, this is common on these cars the valve cover gasket goes bad and oil leaks into sparkplug holes and then it misfires, if theres oil in holes replace the wires and the valve cover gasket with the tube seals,

98 honda accord leaking oil from under horminic balancer it has 250 000 miles and has lot of blow by if i change seal or gasket will it still leak

It should stop leaking if you replace the front harmonic balancer oil seal. With the amount of mileage you have on your car, that seal definitely needs to be changed.

How do you repair a oil leak in a 96 honda accord?

Clean the oil from the engine anywhere you can see it, and determine where the oil is leaking from. If a gasket, purchase the gasket from a reputable parts store, or your local Honda dealer. If a seal, purchase a new seal from the same.

Replace offending part, oil leak will cease.

My honda accord has an engine leakage

You can picck up a scan tool at most auto parts store these days. Keep in mind the scan tool will not detect leaks or thier location and is for electrical and sensor diagnostics only. For the oil leak problemi t will take some visual effort to locate the source. Possible leakage points are front crank seal,valve cover seal, pan seal and rear main seal If it is a cosistant leak, you can park it with the engine runing and let the drips fink on themselves as to where yhey are coming from. If it is dripping in several areas the chances are it is collecting then dripping. It would help to have the engine cleaned of any excess exterior oil. It will help detect new oil from the leakag. A faulty pcv valve will also cause leaks. Change it first and see if that helps. If a pcv valve doesn't work right it allows pressure to build up inside the engine and forces oil through any weak seals or gaskets. Good Luck
