I'm having problem with our 95 honda accord 2.2l v-tech. The car runs fine but yesterday seemingly out of the blue it has a very very serious oil leak. I'm estimating it would leak out a quart of oil every 5-7minutes at idle.

I really don't know anything about the motor so i'm unsure where it might be leaking from. All I can say it that the oil leak is coming from the driverside of the motor and looks be below the valve cover. The highest point I could see oil draining from is the lower pulley (crank i'm assuming).
From what I can tell knowing nothing about this motor is the leak is either from a cam seal of a front main seal. Understand that I know zero about this thing and could be wrong.

The real question that I have is there anything else in that part of the motor that could leak like this that can be fixed by a non honda mechanic.
If it is a main can it be changed with motor in the car?
If it is a cam seal I can change that without pulling the head.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this and any input is welcome.

i had a similiar problem in my h23 prelude...after three days of my mechanic's diog, it ended up being a $4.00 honda o-ring from the oil sender unit... it was a weired situation...maybe that will help.

Is the oil sender in the area I mentioned?

How big of a deal is a front balancer shaft seal to replace?

same as t-belt job exept you replace seal after taking every thing off but you can leave t-belt on just take off balancer belt
