oil/coolant leaking.....? HELP
 

hey guys,

my dad has a 98 accord anyway lately i've been noticing on the driveway his car is leaving oil stains on the driveway. So i checked all his fluids and they seem to be fine, except the engine oil on the dip stick was at half. So i filled it back up with some engine oil, but i wanted to see if the oil drain plug was loose. So i jacked the car up and i noticed on the oil pan one side is kind of wet/moist with oil, so i assume is the oil pan gasket? and the oil plug was fine. Anyway my dad parks his car in the garage for 2 days and i have cardboard under his car and not a drop of oil for 2 days.

So his car was parked outside last night and this morning i see a stains of coolant but not oil. I don't know i find this werid, its happened to my car too, sometimes it will leak coolant or oil for a bit then it won't have any drips or stains anymore. Does anybody have a logical explanation for this or have experieced this also? I know I should take it too the mechanic but just don't have time with my dad and I working to bring it. Anyway let me know some feedback . TIA

Is your driveway on a incline/decline? it may still be leaking but gravity may play a role in why it doesn't leak while in the garage. It's happened to the teg but the splash guard was the one not letting the oil from dripping on the ground.

I took the bumper off and found out pooling of oil. My headgasket is on it's way out. Im waiting for it to give out on me before I get another B18B to replace the 300+ KM B18B I have now.

Ok that sounds about right i guess, ethier way i'm taken it to get checked out on thursday just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks glenn, others feel free to chime in if you have a similar experience

i had coolant leak it wurned out my rad cracked at the side cause it was so cold last winter (aftermarket rad) so i had to replace it with an OEM one, i alos found oil under my car, and it turned out to be the oil from the air conditioning, so i had to get a new condenser and i had to get it recharged
