Honda J Series Oil Leak: What You Need To Know
When fixing the oil leak from the front spool valve on my wife’s 2012 Honda Odyssey with the J35 engine, I screwed up, and you could too, easily. Because I screwed up, you don’t have to. Watch this video for a complete guide on how to, not only repair this oil leak, but avoid a check engine light and a misfire when you’re done.
**It is important to address any oil leaks on the front of these engines as they can damage the alternator.**
In addition to this video I made a video about replacing the valve cover gaskets, PCV valve, and doing a valve adjustment on this engine.
