  1. Problems & Issues
    I drove home and parked my Element after filling the tank, when I got out of the car I noticed a strong gas odor at the back of the vehicle. I could not see any leaks under the car. I backed out of the carport to the driveway for more light. I went from a level spot to angled, with the rear...
  2. Problems & Issues
    So I've had this oil leak for a while that's leaving a spray pattern under the hood from the serpentine belt and is getting all over my new alternator. For the longest time I thought it was my VTEC solenoid pressure switch, but don't think it's that as i replaced it. I have also replaced my...
  3. Problems & Issues
    Hey everyone, looking at a 2011 LX AWD. In pristine condition, but there was some rust on the underside as well as a leak coming from one of the hoses. Firstly, does this amount of rust warrant concern? Second, can anyone tell what might be leaking? You can see the hose and droplet circled...
  4. Greetings & Introductions
    Woke up to go skiing for the third day in a row camping in my E in the teens with feet falling each night. On my way home I clean the E top to bottom and pull off the cupholder for a deep clean and a dead ****ing mouse is underneath. It was definitely a smaller mountain mouse and was like...
  5. Problems & Issues
    Recently purchased a 2004 EX for a shop vehicle. Got a screaming deal deal on it and it suits what I need it for. Except for the leak. After a couple of weeks of tantrums, foul language and threatening to sell it(cabin leaks make me insane) I got desperate and was going to try one last Hail Mary...
  6. Maintenance and Service
    Hi, I've seen a number of posts about finding a radiator leak or stopping hose leaks but not about leaking from top of the radiator that is held down by the metal clamp that goes all around the top. I can see the fluid (at this point basically water) dripping or bubbling out of the seal between...
  7. Problems & Issues
    Anyone know the size for the banjo bolt and washers? I replaced my right rear caliper a few months ago. My brake warning light came on yesterday because of the fluid level. Found the soft line has a persistent but slow leak at the banjo bolt that must only leak under pressure. I don't see...
  8. Problems & Issues
    Hello all! This is my first post and it will be a lengthy one with a list of the current odd things I've noticed since buying this used 2003 EX 2WD AT with 43,000 miles a few weeks ago. I have done a number of searches online and through this forum to try and understand what they could be, so...
  9. Problems & Issues
    I have a water leak that is causing pooling of water in the passenger foot well, both on top of and underneath the flooring/padding. The issue happens when the vehicle is parked and is exposed to heavy rain. I have had the AC condenser line blown out and that wasn't the issue, so I am convinced...
  10. Problems & Issues
    Picked up this E an hour away a couple of weeks ago and drove it back w/ no issues, except that I caught a whiff of burning coolant as I stepped out. I went to take a more thorough look at it today and saw a patch of wet surface underneath the car, I don't think it's the rad though as there was...
  11. Problems & Issues
    Both of my doors up front have developed leaks. Beads of water form on the inside weather stripping at the tops of the windows -then drip down onto the arm rest where the window/door controls are. There are 2 lines of weather stripping around the doors. One on the door and another on the car...
  12. Maintenance and Service
    I've looked and looked at forums and can't seem to find out the going rate for a crank seal job...Yes before you ask, it is leaking from the crank :) Please post actual figures not just guesses and location in US...Thanks in advance
  13. Problems & Issues
    Hello all, I recently went to Honda with my 2005 Element to get a oil change and when I returned they advised me the rear drivers side strut was leaking and $616.00 should cover the replacement. I never take a single opinion so I went to a independent repair guy who said he saw some seepage...
  14. Maintenance and Service
    Hey All - First time to post something so try to be nice.... I have a 2003 AWD 5MT Element, the starter failed this weekend (on a vacation road trip, of course:x). I replaced the starter (more detail below). After replacing the starter, the idle is rough ( low / high alternating). The OBD...
  15. Maintenance and Service
    2007 Element EX, 5 Speed, sunroof. We've had this in to the dealer 5 times now, and they can't find the leak. Each time the back is pretty wet, with a fair amount of water standing in the catch-tray and water from just below the window on-down the door. The wheel wells have been documented as...
  16. Problems & Issues
    Hi. I wonder if anyone has had the following experience: It has been raining here for the past two days... and I have noticed that my seatbelt, which feeds out of the driver-side suicide door, is WET. I am guessing that water has seeped into the door, but I cannot find an obvious gap or tear in...
