I used AT-205 to expand the seals.. bad leak stopped after about 200 miles of driving. I was skeptical but am very happy with this product… 7 months in… no leak
A good stop leak for cooling systems that I swear by is K-Seal. I used that in my friends Chevy Sonic. Those car's are cooling system nightmares. It stopped the leak in the radiator.
Super helpful video! Was losing oil in my 2006 Honda Odyssey and was worried it was gonna be a big garage bill. Watched this video and was able to do it myself. I’m pretty certain this is where the leak was because it had a buildup of sludge on this part. I used Fel-Pro oil filter adapter gasket # 73040. Changed the oil and filter at the same time. Let it run for awhile and i didn’t spot any leaks. I will keep an eye on it, but I believe this was the problem!
My bulletproof 2009 with 220,000 on it JUST started leaking. I crawled under and traced it to this area. I'm thinking this is the root cause. I'll be sharing with my mechanic! Looks like a nice, inexpensive repair! Thank you!!!
I'm a single middle age woman. I can do this... I just bought a used 06 Odyssey... but my top deal is leaking... and maybe this one to... you are amazing plz keep sharing videos 😻📸 thank you, God bless 🙏
Do you have any experience doing mechanical work. If you do, this is something you can definitely do. If not, it may give you some issues. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.
This oil leak evidently has been going on for a while. The van squeals horribly, and the mechanic charged us for other repairs... eventually, it leaked bad enough for me to look into it, and... this video made it easy for me to fix it... now to do the repair and clean the area and belt to see if that fixes the whole problem.... it is a 2007 after all.
My housing looks like it is crack…thought that was going to be a bigger job. Thanks for the help! Not sure if you have video showing leak from oil pan plug?
Make sure you check which honda or acura car and look for the 10mm bolt on the right of the housing. For example, the acura RLX has that bolt in the back of the harmonic balancer. You need to remove the accessory belt, the harmonic balancer, then you get to the 10mm bolt. The acura tl and the honda accord do not have that issue. It’s straight forward like in the video.
Some Honda bond or gasket maker around that side without the bolt probably wouldn’t hurt. Don’t feel like doing mine twice, so I’ll more than likely take my own advice. Lol. Appreciate this video, I’ve been wondering why my leak is so bad down low.
Do you need to drain the oil first before removing this housing? I’m assuming you’d have a mess otherwise. I literally just changed my oil 15 min ago thinking the leak was around the oil filter itself, but I think it’s this gasket you showed us.
Some of these gaskets have filters and some do not. I see one of each coming up when I search for an 07 odyssey. I guess I’ll order both to be safe and return whichever is the wrong one. Update: just did this repair and no filter on original gasket. Job was pretty easy and saved me a lot of money doing myself.
I had the same dilemma saw both parts didnt know which one to get. I got the one with filter, when i got the old one off it didnt have the filter. The filter can be easily pried out and used anyway without it. This is one of the easiest repairs I have done on this POS you just have to identify this as the leak source. Yes its a POS for a jap car bought with 111k now has 157k i cant count how much shit Ive had to fix and or needs fixin just the planned stuff like timing belt and valve adjustments are absurd compared to Toyota Sienna. (07 exl) Sucker that i am i bought another last year (16 elite)but much less has broken. We will see how happy I am at about 110k when I gotta do the timing belt. It does drive fantastic for a minivan
@@ashleyredden2201 for some engine parts yeah but Im pretty sure all odys of a certain year have oil filter mounting plate gaskets. What would differ is VCM vs non VCM and thats where trim levels come in. For instance 07 lower trims lx and ex have the J35A6 while upper trims exl and touring have J35A7, with VCM and those have spool valves on each head with gaskets prone to leakage.
@2:50 can you tell me what sensor that is with the black rubber nipple over it. It’s behind the housing at the top left of it. Please and thank you in advance.
@auto repair tips great video. I'm pretty sure this is whats happening for me. I assume you have to drain/change the oil. it's not that dry as is, is it?
This happens on most Honda V6 3.5 in the Accord, Pilot, Ridgeline, TL, MDX etc. The spool valve gasket on the other side of the V leaks too. It won't Just make a mess though, it will leak down onto the alternator and ruin it.
16 Ft-lbs is what's required for the 3 mounting bolts. Also use a gasket that has a screen in it. Especially if the original gasket from the factory had a screen in it.
I was told my 09 honda odyssey, oil leak requires transmission to be lowered which is the bulk of the price of $1,800 to repair. Does that sound about right?
@@AutoRepairTips757 yeah the oil pan or what is labeled under engine literally has Engine Oil engraved in the bottom of it. The gasket needs to be repaired and labor is the most expensive part need to be in shop most all day
Just replaced this same Gasket on my 04 odessey. The water passage, EGR and thermostat gaskets are next. But then I gotta track down the other oil leak. I'm afraid it's the rear main seal but I'm really hoping I'm wrong.
thank you for showing us the main problem but slow people like me would really like to see the whole process i dont know where the big screw goes. where do you get the gasket is it available online only or you can go to any auto parts or dealer only?
Man! Hopefully this is all that's wrong with mine. Definitely looks like where my oil is coming from. Please God! Everything else I've read is gonna cost me a lot, because I don't have the equipment or savvy to do those.
Mine just went bad while i was about 70 miles from home. It dumped 3 quarts and oil light came on. I filled it with oil and it dumped 4 more on the way home I had to stop when oil light came on again.
Well you have one less thing to worry about going forward now. I guess it’s a process of elimination and the good thing is that these repairs seem doable which can save us some nice money. I’ll be doing this on the weekend and also changing a seal on another component known to leak. I think it’s the vtec spool gasket. After these two are changed I’m hoping my leak is fixed. If not then it’s on to the next possible culprit I guess. Very thankful for videos like these and the people who take the time to do them. I’m a handy guy with respect to tools and woodworking. But I never did automotive. Thanks to TH-cam I’ve done a number of repairs that were beyond my basic understanding but got them done. One of the biggest was taking apart the top of my jeep engine to replace an oil filter housing (damn oil leaks lol). Took a whole day but I saved a lot of money.
@@tdz69 It is my oil pan gasket, but the leak is small , so it’s not a big deal and it’s not worth all the time and effort ,imo. I have 266,000 on my 2001 Odyssey, and I am hoping to get another 100k out of it, if possible. I’ve put plenty of parts onto this van and, everything operates on it. The one thing I haven’t changed yet, is the water pump and belt , which are recommended @ 100k. Iam the 3rd owner, so idk if the belt and pump have been done yet. I recently took my vin to the Honda dealership to see if I could obtain any Maintenance records on my van but they had nothing. The previous owner said she had all her work done at the Honda dealership, but I had no luck. I just wish I knew if the belt and water pump were changed so I don’t have to waste time doing it myself . From what i see, it’s a big job.
Thank you, sir. You may have just saved me a fortune in repair bills.
Glad it helped you

Can you tell me where did you take the long screw from left top, right top or bottom middle.??? I didn't catch you showing on your video . thanks

Does it leak oil onto your drain bolt?I have a leak that drops onto drain bolt and surrounding area though my drain bolt is tight
@@AutoRepairTips757how do you know that's the leak? Or maybe some where else....
Hi. What’s the part name for the gasket? Thanks 🙏
oil filter housing gasket
Do you need to drain the oil first before removing this housing? I’m assuming you’d have a mess otherwise. I literally just changed my oil 15 min ago thinking the leak was around the oil filter itself, but I think it’s this gasket you showed us.
No I didn’t drain the oil first you’re gonna have a little bit of a mess but not much
@@AutoRepairTips757 Thank you!
@@joeorlando94 you need,he forgot say it😅
Good to have a drain pan if not up on a lift. You get about 1/2 cup of oil.

It depends on submodel like exl. And touring don't have gasket I believe and certain years don't either..

Thank you sir, 08 odyssey owner.
Any time!
Seeing an oil leak on my 2015, would this fix be the same approach?
@auto repair tips great video. I'm pretty sure this is whats happening for me. I assume you have to drain/change the oil. it's not that dry as is, is it?
What did you figure out? Did you have to dump the oil or just the filter?
Should the oil be drained before removing the housing

Your welcome
I might have this problem.. my Honda leaks oil and goes to the mufflers then a little smoke comes out .. no overheating nothing. Just loss of oil
GREAT JOB! THANK YOU!
Your welcome
You did not tell us which year Honda Odyssey this was. I have a 1995 (1st Generation) Odyssey... Is this fix similar?... Thanks and best wishes.
I will check when I get back to work on Monday
@@AutoRepairTips757 ok.. Thank you.
is 05 2005 year bro
What if the oil is leaking from that hex nut on the left side of that filter.
16 Ft-lbs is what's required for the 3 mounting bolts. Also use a gasket that has a screen in it. Especially if the original gasket from the factory had a screen in it.
Just had mine fixed
Thank you!
You're welcome!
HOw long would you have to let it run before you may see the leak? Thank you!
As soon as I started up, it would leak
I was told my 09 honda odyssey, oil leak requires transmission to be lowered which is the bulk of the price of $1,800 to repair. Does that sound about right?
What is leaking?
@@AutoRepairTips757 they said near pump and mentioned something about gasket. That only way to access it was to lower transmission

no need to drain oil before starting the work?

you can run a thread chaser in there first
I freaking knew it your vid just confirmed it thanks brother great vid sweet simple to the point.. u gotta sub here
Thanks

Going to purchase the gasket now lmao
It’s just became a rapid issue fast gotta wrap that crap up

Is this the same for a 2007 Honda Pilot?
Do you drain the oil while doing this? And whats the part number
No need to

The what housing?
Great tip.
Dumb question maybe. Does the oil have to be drained to perform this repair? Thanks.
Thanks for watching, and no you don’t have to drain the oil
The 3 screws are too tight. Not an easy fix. Need a large extension too
What’s the part #?

i bought the parts from the dealer
the big screw goes into the same hole it came out of
Thanks, brother.
You're welcome
Man! Hopefully this is all that's wrong with mine. Definitely looks like where my oil is coming from. Please God! Everything else I've read is gonna cost me a lot, because I don't have the equipment or savvy to do those.
What do you torque the three bolts to?
I don’t remember, but it’s not a lot I’m thinking inch lbs
Anyone have the link to the gasket or part number?
