Further information -
The leak is not a direct spillage, as there has been literally zero leakage on my drive-way. I'm assuming the leakage is occurring at high-temps/RPM's and just burning off on the engine block. The metal-on-metal started a couple nights ago after I was getting off work, and went away after the engine was done rolling over. Then the sound would persist at 4,000RPM and higher.

Nigger what? Don't you check your oil once a week minimum?
Get a b20. Those things are cheap as fuck. I got mine with 74,000km for 350 dollars.

I usually check it around once a month, I've never bought a car I figured I'd have to fuck around with a lot. I've had this car for about as long.

The oil leak you posted is a very common b series problem and absolutely will not leak 4qt of oil without being noticeable. Your engine would be completely black by now which has NEVER happened from a cam cap leak on that engine. The oil light is known as an idiot light so by the time it comes on you're fucked also Lucas Honey will finish off that engine in short order. You said you heard metal on metal so you did quite severe damage already but if the sound has went away then go ahead and change the oil to regular 10w30 and if the sound comes back then look for another engine.

You know what you should tell your stupid mechanic? "It's a Honda, you don't know what youre talking about" and drive away.

The area on the left side of the engine, underneath where I am pointing to, was almost entirely black before I wiped it down. I wiped it down after putting 3qts 10w30 1qt Lucas down the pipe, seeing as my dip stick was completely dry after several dips over a half an hour. I reiterate, there is no leakage on my driveway, additionally I never noticed any smoke coming out of the tailpipe. I'm assuming that it dripped onto the engine block and burned off there.

Fuck you idiot, it's a god damned Honda what the fuck are you talking about common problems and doing damage and changing the engine. You never have to change a Honda engine fool you can drain out all the oil and you still have 20 minutes of life left before you have to change shit.

Don't listen to that fag he just wants you to spend money when you don't have to. Just put 10w30 S2000 oil (thats what they recommend for the S2000) and you're good to go.

>>13961855
I still have a bit of clank every so often when I'm turning over the engine. Is this negligible? I was thinking about swapping to a K20A2 in the spring when I have some money coming in, but right now I need something I can drive.

>>13961861
K20 is a god engine, swap it over when you're ready otherwise a little bit of noise in a Honda engine means nothing. You can go probably another 200k on that with proper oil and level.

>>13961840
you didn't burn off 3qt of oil on the engine through a cam cap seal over a month. didn't happen.
