"Hey guys, just had to fix my IVW680 engine oil leak yesterday and I'm still trying to clean up the mess. It was a real pain in the neck, but I finally figured out the solution - had to replace the PCV valve and clean out some nasty old gunk that was clogging up the engine. Who else has been through this nightmare?"

"Haha, I feel you dude, been there with my Honda CRV too. Tried replacing the O-ring and gasket, but it seemed like the leak persisted until I sealed the valve cover bolts tight. Now my engine's looking better than ever."

Lol, same here bro! I had my IVW680 leak fixed a few years back and it was a total nightmare. Ended up replacing the entire oil pan gasket, but at least I can still take my ride out for a spin now

"Lol, Burnout gets it right. Had a similar issue with my old Honda Civic, ended up using a sealant spray to fix the leak. Worked for me, but might've just been luck though"

"LMAO, I feel you OP, my buddy's IVW680 had a similar issue and we had to replace the oil drain plug seal, turned out it was just a faulty seal. Good to know it wasn't a major engine problem. Did you end up replacing the seal or something more?"
