2018 Honda Civic Touring: I noticed oil (I think it was oil) on the rear of the skid plate when I removed it to do an oil change. There was also oil directly above the spot on the skid plate. I brought it to a mechanic. He cleaned off the spot above the skid plate. He could not find the source of the leak. Any thoughts as to what it could be?
@chucktobias I purchased due to see if I could find the leak. I put it in the engine. No dye. So I put some dye in the transmission. No dye came out of the transmission either. What could I be missing?
Some motor mounts have oil inside them and begin to leak oil as they begin to deteriorate. This won't show up with a dye test. Good luck.
I don't think he used UV dye to find it.
Thank you Chuck!
@chucktobias I purchased dye to see if I could find the leak. I put it in the engine. I didn't find any dye in the fluid that if leaking. So I put some dye in the transmission. No dye came out of the transmission either. What could I be missing?
@jasondshute You might need a brighter UV light and special glasses if you're not already using them.
