Default Oil Leak -FYI

I just had to have done on my 1996 Hond Accord EXL 4Door sedan

1. Replaced Valve Cover Gasket
2. Timing belt
3. Balancer Belt
4.Oil Seals and Oil Pump Seal
5. Oil Pan Gasket

for $1100.00 Keep in my mind if you have an oil leak this where it usually starts, mine was on the left side of the car and stained my driveway really good.

WOW.........$ 1100.00 ????? that's worse than hwy robbery.... you paid way way too much...
sounds like the balancer shaft seal was leaking very typical on 94-97 accords

unless you live in NYC, I think I just passed out.......then I saw oil pan and most likely front and rear main seals and then figured it was OK price

that is what you meant by oil seals right?

i think he meant crank , balancer and cam seal..........and no word on if they replaced the water pump..
to replace the oil pan gasket ,, a shop should charge no more than 2 hrs in labor ......a flat rate tech can go it in 30- minutes or so.. ( easy money..)
i doubt that they replaced the rear main seal ,, if they did than i stand corrected the price is good .. BUT i am willing to bet that they did not

Slightly off topic (but it seems like a good time to ask) - how long does the rear main seal last on a 92 Accord LX 4AT? (Now there's a job that I'm willing to bet is going to take more than an hour or two!)

when it leaks replace it,, no set time,, and definately replace it if you are replacing the clutch
mm it will take longer than a few hrs , tranny needs to come out ..
