Recently, I just did my first oil change and found out these stains on my engine. Is this normal? Or I have to get this warranteed before future problems? Thanks for any help. Engine is bone stock with about 5000+ miles.

 

damn i have a 04 no leak thats not normal.

 

Heck nall! Got get it checked and use the warranty.

 

I had a slight leak in that exact area on my '05 at about the 2 month mark. I wiped it off and never had anything return. I've seen numerous other posts - not sure what causes it, but it doesn't appear to be abnormal.

 

it might be oil from the install of the motor
once the gasket sealed then it doesnt leak.
clean it off with degreaser and then

 

clean it off, and drive around and see if the oil returns. if not have the dealer check it ou under warranty.

 

That is a seep common to all S2000's to some extent. Clean it off and don't worry about it.

 

Thanks guys, I will keep the pictures, wipe it off and not worry about it then.

 

Wipe it off and see if it comes back. I've noticed this same staining on many, many S2000's. I consider it to be pretty normal personally.

 

It's a non-pressurized oil seepage from between the head gasket and timing chain case. It's fairly common, what you are seeing is as bad as it gets. Spray it with some brake cleaner and don't worry.

The only repair option is to replace the head gasket.
