Good day, i have an ES8 civic 2001 model. oil seems to be leaking to the part which all the coil pack is connected to, i think this part replaces the distributer. could I unbolt it and change the seal, is it similar to changing a ditributer seal? any help is most appreciated.

 

Vpersad,

I'd say that the more plausible source of the oil leak is the cylinder head cover gasket (ref #5 in this '01 Civic cylinder head cover diagram). Removing the cylinder head cover is no biggie- it should take you less than an hour to remove it, replace the gasket and re-install the cover.


Let me know if you need instructions on how to perform the job
