Help Needed
Well, typical high milage, unknown history car things, fix one semi simple thing, then something really breaks :/
I have a 98 Accord EX, V6 SOHC (VTEC). Last night, she was running just fine, was poking around the front and rear suspension (306,000 on original factory bushings). I was going to go for a short, slow drive to listen for any weird noises, and not even 2 blocks away from my house. She lit every warning / check engine light and shut off. While trying to quickly diagnose, i noticed a considerable oil puddle on the ground, checked, and had no oil. I added 2 1/2 quarts i had in the trunk, started her up, and theeeeeere it all went on the ground immediately. Got it on jackstands and took a look. It seems like its passenger side, closer to the top of the engine. Any big ideas / things to watch for? (I will take a better look this evening, when i have daylight and more time). From what I read, it could be VTEC solenoid, camshaft, or headgasket, among others. Does anyone know what's the more common failure point / how much of a pain it is to fix? Does start and drive, no concerning, overly expensive noises but obviously, won't hold oil. Thanks for reading this mess 🫶
