Honda Repair: 92 Civic, oil leaks, head gasket


Question
Im having trouble finding an oil leak on my 92 civic.  Oil is covering the complete back side of the motor and steering rack like its spraying from somewhere.  It was blowing smoke when I first got it so I had the head gasket replaced, problem solved.  Smelled oil a couple days later, oil was covering the back side of the motor.  I cleaned it off let it run no sign of oil leak.  So I replaced the oil sending unit and the oil filter.  I let it run no leak.  After I drove the car I smelled oil again.  Once again complete back side of motor is covered in fresh oil.  I checked the timing belt and the cam seal theyre good nice and dry.  HELP

Answer
The best way to find this oil leak is to get a bunch of brake cleaner in spray cans & thoroughly clean the engine & wipe it down until it is clean, no oil residue anywhere. Then you need to get a pint of florescent dye & a black light. Put the dye in with the oil & let the car run for a while, but don't drive it, because when it is driven the oil will spray everywhere. You will need to get under the engine while it is running & use your black light & yellow glasses & visually look for the leak. If you do this right, the dye will leak out of the engine with the oil & the dye should be bright yellow & easy to spot. This is the easiest way to find stubborn leaks from refrigerant or oil leaks. Remember, everything has to be clean to find the leak. Good luck
