Hey guys quick question 2010 honda accord 212k miles i think my rear main seal is leaking. Think i should just drive it till it drops it drives, runs good, and everything work should i just keep a drip pan underneath to catch the drip and keep checking the oil?
have you priced out the repair?
Yeah its about a 15 to 2k repair and thats a pretty big bill for me so ima just keep adding At 205 reseal every oil change keep the drip pan on stand by cuz i cant afford that right now and keep checking the oil every day
How much is it leaking, anything actually noticeable when you check the oil?
I think nearly all of my toyotas have had at least some leak on the rear main seal, but never enough to bother with it.
I just wipe it off when I am under there every now and then.
Yeah its very noticeable but since the bill is high and i cant afford it right now ima just add At 205 reseal every oil change and keep the drip pan on stand by and just go from there bud appreciated the input tho
You may go a while before it completely goes out, but be ready when it does go. Keep oil in the trunk at all times. I have a 1979 Pontiac that was leaking from the rear main. I drove it for a year and a half before it completely went. I kept oil in it, and a shop I go to sometimes were able to repair it.
If it were me, I would save the money and replace it. It's a Honda Accord, they can almost last forever.
Hey bro false alarm i did some more examination come to find outthe guy who put my oil pan on pinched my gasket causing it leak so hopefully it will be getting fixed soon what a relief saving me some money
That's good. You could have also used a florescent dye that's meant for oil to verify the leak. You can get them at AutoZone.

Good to hear your rear main seal isn't leaking, just a simple oil pan gasket replacement!
