Nice! I have an 01 mdx 289k. I'm wondering now if the oil leak I have, may in fact be a power steering leak 🤔 Grateful to come across this
@@jenniferc7857 for sure could be power steering leak. That milage on Honda and Acura have some weeping.
Those lenses brother...are they +5's or +6? Are they glass? Can you start fires with them? I can with mine!!!
Savage, bro! 🤣 They're actually x-ray vision for inside engines only. Surprisingly, nothing else.
But since we're talking numbers, left is -8 and right is -7.50. Find someone to top that.
@@GTSam I've been wearing mine since I was 2 years old. They magnify right? I mean you could focus the sun on paper and burn things correct? Those gotta be +'s not -'s right?
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 hey, me too! Right, so they magnify. A lot. My eyes are bad. No one can match haha.
Then I would argue your glasses are + not - minus :) @@GTSam
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 wait, yes that's right. My lenses/contacts are + and vision is - ha. See, can barely see my contact box to tell me lol.
OMGawd Sam. I was going to mention the J32 in your TL or the J37 in this vehicle is gold….until someone refuses regular maintenance.
One last thing Sam. That air in your p/s reservoir should definitely be addressed. It could be as simple as a couple O rings. Thanks
I agree with ya! They can take a beating but once they are down, it ain't good.
Appreciate you watching out for me! It was good after letting it run for awhile and turning the steering wheel back and forth a lot. Sound and foam all gone!
Honda tech here - Looks like the serpentine belt was old and failed causing the belt to shred hitting/cutting the power steering hose. Also a super common issue with all J series engines is a leaking oil pump. When showing the crank with the car lifted it looks like it’s been leaking for some time - it’s a labor intensive job but can be done if you are planning to install a new timing belt kit. It also seems like you scored getting a j37a1 as it does not have piston ring issues that some j series have from 2005-2017. Overall pretty reliable cars if serviced well.
Hey, thanks for that detailed info! I was hoping this engine was more similar to the J32 in my TL but don't think so. Right now, the MDX has a belt that was still attached but maybe just one part broke and hit the hose? Really, oil pump? Crazy. Was that on 4th gen TLs as well?
@@GTSam You are correct that the j32 and j37 and similar yet different. Same j series of engine but of course different displacement, with similar performance oriented engineering. The j32 was much more powerful than the j30 of the time, had vtec engage at lower rpms, and the j37 is the most powerful NA v6 Honda has made. When you showed your old belt it showed it was torn up - I bet it was partially broken was flinging the edges/flaps tearing/removing the power steering pump hose. And yes, with the oil pump there is a gasket above the crankshaft seal that is behind the pump housing itself that goes onto the block that gets hard, brittle and flat. I’d replace the oil filter base gasket, crank-seal, oil pickup tube o-ring, the oil pump gasket, and 2 tubes of Honda-bond for resealing the pump outer edges and the oil pan. I’d also recommend an aisin timing belt kit as Honda uses them as oem but rebrands it as Honda ($200 versus $5-700 for “oem” at Honda/acura).
@@Tony-375 good insight, thanks! Love the Aisin timing stuff. Used it in my TL as well already in the past.
How hard is it to replace bad valve cover that is leaking/ causing smoke when hot?and how much about?
@@tylermiller214 what make and model
Have have the same smoking problem with my Acura TL and think it’s valve cover as well.
I commented on your other post but it isn't too bad of a job for a TL either. Similar engine designs. If it's front and back leak, probably valve covers. Side, something else.
Bro youre scaring me i bought a 400k km diesel fiat bravo 1.6 :(
Ooooo, interesting! Diesel engines usually hold up well. But what ya worried about?
