Pretty straight forward. Get it up in the air, get everything out of the way, take the bolts out, and drop the pan. Make sure you use a name-brand or a Honda seal set.Go easy on the RTV if it calls for it-too much will push out and possibly cause a problem with the oil pump pickup screen.How to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
first drain the oil in a clean pan if you plan on reusing it, there may be a cross-member or exaust pipe in your way, you have to remove those, just remove all the bolts that are holding up the pan, bring the pan straight down because there is an oil pump screen that the pan can get hung up on, after removing the pan, scrape off all the old gasket material making sure you have a smooth dry surface put your new gasket onto, you can use gasket glue to hold the gasket on, make sure you clean the surface on the bottom of the engine too. when you put the bolts back in , make sure you tighten them back and forth, don't tighten any of them until you have all of your bolts started, and don't over tighten them cause this can make it leak, hope this helps, it should'nt be too hard to do if you have some mechanical knowhow. good luck!How to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
just like the previous answer, just take it apart. Its not too complicated. If you need help, there is always repair manuals that will walk you through step-by-step. They are and most auto stores or online. autozone.com i know has some. You can also check Honda's website for addition info on ow to do it and what type of stuff you should use. However, ur car is only 8-9 yrs old and u shouldn't have this problem. It could just be something small like a loose bolt or just over-spill from whoever put the oil in. Hopefully its nothing more serious like a rear main seal or something like that. When you take the pan off, check to see if everything is tight and make sure the oil is coming from where the pan meets the engine block. if everything is tight and that IS where the oil is coming from, the replacing the gasket should fix the problem. If not, work your way up and see if you can find the leak. Also, if you have more than 75,000 miles, I recommend using some type of %26quot;high mileage%26quot; oil. This help keep the seal and everything from breaking down. Good luck!!
