Crap crap crap.... So today I went to go finish my honda and decided to finally fix the (what I thought)slow oil leak that has been dripping very slowly. So I jacked up the car and checked everything (oil filter, plug, lines, oil pan was fine). To be sure, I tightened the plug a little more. So I unjacked the car and looked and it wasn't leaking and I checked the oil, and the oil was still full. So it wasn't the oil.

So I was like Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, is it any fluid. I checked everything and everything was fine. I was stumped and decided to start the car to see if anything was running funny (havn't started it in months)

After a lot of cranks and giving gas, it started! I noticed the gas gauge was lower then I thought, but couldn't remember how high it was. Everything sounded fine and then all of a sudden......... I sniff, I sniff a lot of gas, then it got stronger. So I shut the car off, checked the engine and I couldn't see any leaks. I then looked under the car and Low and behold, it was dripping like ice cream on a very very hot day. It was dripping to the left of the oil pan ( I didn't see where the dripping was, I just saw the spots under the car). So I raised the car up and by that time, It started to drip slow so I couldn't find it.

So I searched and searched and couldn't find the leak. The fuel filter was good, it looked like the lines were good (although I couldn't see that well). I then looked at the alternator and it looked like it had corrosion on it. So I new the leak has to be above the alternator or by it. The alternator is right above the oil pan to the left. So now I really know it is right around that section, I just don't know what the hell it is.

AHhhhhhhhhhhhh, anyone have any ideas what it could be. I am going to fully check all the lines tomorrow.

----------------
1) It ended up not being the oil leak
2) Turned car on and strong scent of gas came to me
3) Looked under the car and it was dripping fast of gas
4) Fuel filter is good, quick check of the lines and they look good
5) Dripping left to the oil pan, above the alternator
6) WHAT THE HELL DO YOU GUYS THINK IT COULD BE!!!
7) I'm going to fully check it out tomorrow and fully check the lines.
