Honda Repair: 97 honda accord special edition, engine degreaser, pan gasket


Question
I have a 97 honda accord special edition with 158xxx miles; was told dist. o ring and oil pan gasket was leaking. would you say this needs to be urgently addressed?

Answer
Kat this is not an urgently required fix for your vehicle but, i would repair it within the next 6 months to a year. Keep an eye on your oil level about every 2nd or 3rd tank of gas. When you finally do repair the problem pressure wash the motor and use an engine degreaser on heavily saturated areas of the engine. Avoid direct spray to the distributor.
