All Parts Accessories Accessory Components. I'm not certain how 'sticky' these compounds are, so I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts or experience with this sort of leak. MT Clutch Case (V6) for 2011 Honda Accord. My question is this: How effective would it be to just clean off the pan (without removing it), and apply some of this gel-like gasket sealant to the edges (like caulking a bathtub)? I would figure the oil pan isn't a high pressure area and my leak doesn't seem to be pressurized since the dripping is not huge (1/2 quart in 2 weeks), nor does it seem to squirt out while driving. In checking around the net, Permatex and many others make 'Gasket Sealant' which forms bonds resilient to oil/heat etc. In thinking of doing it myself, I noticed that Honda themselves recommend/use liquid gasket to close seal off the pan when reinstalling it.

They want $400 to fix this (due to removal of exhaust system, re-gasketing those connections as well, etc.) They don't believe that it's the main seal, just the pan gasket.

My mechanic also diagnosed a leaky oil pan gasket (towards the back of the pan). Sorry to bump up this old thread I don't have enough posts to have the privileges to create a new thread, so I'm piggybacking on a similar issue.
