I ended up just replacing the belt and the cold start chirp was gone. I bought the Gates tensioner+belt kit 7 years ago, then had some PS o-ring leak recently that I repaired where some fluid probably got onto the belt.
thanks for the tip. I’ll look for it in that general location. I was looking for a honda diagram that shows exact location.
I’m always amazed that you are available to answer questions. I know you must be too busy. Thanks doing a amaznig job!
Thanks for the responses. I also would know your opinion on engine oil. It takes 5W20, which is fine. The question is how often should I change it. Manual says change oil at 10% or 12 months. Car doesn’t get many miles, so changing at 12 months is OK?

When my accord needed a transmission (about 145k miles), I got a JDM MCJA to replace BAXA transmission + I installed a transmission cooler ($60). It worked out great for me. Cost me about $700 including tools. Many places that sell JDMs will do this for you for about the same price. After that just replace the transmission fluid every 30k, only use honda trans fluid.

I planning to do the oil pan gasket. It looks like the front pipe will need to come out. The bolts from front pipe to cat. are completely rusted, and therefore, I’ll be sawing them off and replacing them along with the gasket. Is it necessary to replace the gasket from exhaust manifold to front pipe ?

If I add oil dye to the clean oil, can I leave that in after I find the leak and apply the fix (change pan gasket etc.) I could continue to check for leaks after the fix to see if there are more leaks.
EDIT: Ok the instructions say its safe to keep in until next oil change.

Years ago I went to look for a used car, took my scan tool with me. A sweet old lady tried to take me for a ride, my scan tool found several codes, but there was no check engine light “on”. Her mechanic disabled the light from coming on, but the scan tool saved me. When I drove it sounded under powered, so I was already worried, plus the price was too good to be true.
Take the car back and get your money, if that doesn’t work take them to small claims court.
