Hey everyone. Hoping someone has some idea as to whats going on here.
Ive owned my RSX since march and did an oil change shortly after purchase. A couple thousand kms later I noticed fluid that I can only imagine is oil(looks like oil but doesn't smell like it) the bottom of the passengers side of the car. I cleaned it up thinking it may be left over from when I spilled oil everywhere changing filters.......
Ive never found any oil on the ground when its parked. But without fail the passengers side of the car ends up covered after about 1000km. The passengers side is also almost free of rust when compared to the drivers, confirming my oil assumption.(also indicating its been like this for quite some time)
Passengers side:
Drivers side:
So what I'm wondering is......where should i be looking first for a leak?
Anyone experienced this before?
Thanks in advance for any input you have.
Most of the information I can find on here is related to burning oil. It doesn't appear like I'm loosing a TON but I'm defiantly loosing some, cant say how much as my dipstick seems to streak oil making it impossible to read.
Edit one: Please take a moment to appreciate the elegance of the previous owner, as demonstrated by the O2 sensor wiring zip-tied to the sway bar in the second pic.
