Common place for a head gasket to leak? *Pic*
The car is a boosted integra ls. Just as of lately, Ive noticed this oil leak. I wiped everything down, and it stayed clean for a couple of days. Then I look today, and its back to looking like it did the other day. You can see where the oil is puddling up right above the block code. Its like the leak just came out of nowhere. Last I checked, the engine was beautiful, and then the next day, I see this.
Doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere on the head itself, as its still clean from when I wiped it.
So my question is that is this a common place for a honda head gasket to leak oil? Also, ever since Ive had the motor, its seemed to lose coolant very slowly. So this is why I'm really suspecting the head gasket. The car still runs very strong, but does anyone think that Ill end up damaging something major if I continue to run like this? And one final thing; it seems like the oil pressure light lingers on for a little longer than is use to now upon a cold start. Any correlation?
Knowledgeable input is appreciated!
PS- Before anybody mentions it, yes, I know that Im missing a nut for the manifold.lol
