are dealership reliable to do maitenance and tune ups? well....
got some freakin leaks after millwoods honda change my oil cuz it was close to where i work, i shouldn't have never trust those guy, it was that black guy terry or whatever the f*ck is his name that did the oil change,...lol i dont want to sound rude, but the fucker dont seems to know what his is doing. after i drove it home about 10 mins drive, then i can smell something from the engine bay, like burning metal odor smell, then i thought like what the hell, i check the underneath then the ground was wet at the spot close to the cat. converter in the front, it never leak b4 the oil change, what a :asshole: , i try to phone there, and they told me to leave a # and never called me back. :mad:
oh yeah it seems no leak for idling for a few mins, but i think if i actually drive it for like 10-15mins, so the engine get hot enough, then started to leak, i just put something underneath the car, so to see how much it actually leak if parked, check tomorrow morning i guess |

| tighten your drain bolt and your filter |

If its leaking on your exhaust its probably the filter...
The honda oil filters have an O-ring that is a little thin cause the filter will 'bottom out' before the O-ring compresses heavily.. I've done all my oil changes and have not had it leak yet.
On another note.. if you remove the filter, put something over the exhaust where the woven coulpler is cause when oil hits that, it soaks right in and will smoke for 50km or so.

| it never happen like that b4, maybe i should try to tighten the drainbolt and change to some other kind of filter? or just tightened it? |

Just find out where its leaking and tighten that :fingersx:
No point tightening something that isn't leaking..
As for the honda oil filter, I can tighen it till it bottoms by hand and they never leak for me, so I would almost suspect something contaminating the seal.

In my experience, Millwoods Honda is pretty good. Keep in mind that the Oil changers are just that..... grease monkeys. Their Tech's do know what they are doing.
There was probably some spillage when refilling and it dripped down the side of the engine. If it stopped, that is your best bet. Check for leaks anyway though, but Honda is usually good at spotting leaks. If you take it back, they will throw it on a hoist and check for you. If it is the filter or drain plug, let them fix it and they will degrease the bottom of your engine and clean it up for you.:thumbup: |

| thanks for everyone's help, i went underneath and checked the car, there isnt anything leaking, n thants right, they spill oil over the motor and drop underneath, the motor has some oil stays outside in a gap, so i just cleaned everything up, i dunno why that guy dont even use a funnel when pouring oil in there, i guess their bunch of grease monkey :lol: |

| They pump the oil out of a hose (like gas) so I don't know how they could spill it. Maybe the black guy had a bet that he could do it blind folded? Or he didn't know where the oil cap was and figured if he poured it over the whole engine, it would suck in somewhere?:dunno: :p |
