Need help!!!
96 civic
Okay so I want to start my car this morning as you guys know it was really really cold this morning, the car started okay It ran / idled for about 15 minutes and then I took the kids to school came home and parked.

came out to go get the kids 7 hrs later and the driver side front rim is covered in oil all my belts am alternator is soaked in oil however I still have oil on the dipstick and the car started fine without me realizing the oil on the ground, until i got out of the car and shit the back gate.
I wonder what could happen ?

Maybe cam seal, front main? Trying to think what on the drivers side would puke that much oil to get all over everything you described

looks like its gonna be a crank seal - idk how to replace that, and lack of tools.. but its too cold out to do it - ima have to pay a shop to do it.

Pick the old one out and press the new one in with an appropriate sized socket.

of course that's after removing all the belts and covers.

If you're due for a timing belt/water pump then now's the time to do it all at once.

I suspect a shop will charge around $500 for the timing belt/ water pump/ crank seal replacement

Problem Found - went to add oil to hurry the car to a near by shop, pulled the dip stick out.. and the dip stick tube came out of the block.
Letting the oil come out -

getting a new tube / o ring installed now.

Hey, hope I am not too late to ans...
There are several known causes for oil to leak from your Honda Civic like oil drain plugs, oil filters, oil pans, and the valve cover gasket.
