Hi My 1993 Honda Prelude is leaking oil and has been for some time no one can seem to find the leak. It runs just fine and is not over heating. However the engine is smoking. It only does this when I fill up the oil. Not sure what it could be I have not had anyone look at it recently. It has been leaking for about 3 years or so, anad only smokes when I put fresh oil in it. Any help would be appreciated Thanks a lot Jaclyn Fretz

Hi there,

Get the engine washed down and run it for a day or two, get it up on a holst and inspect around the back of the motor for any leaks onto the exhaust, if it is leaking you will see it, if it is smoking it is dripping onto the exhaust, it should not be hard to locate.
