In this video I walk through how to remove and install the oil pump on this V6 Acura, a very common source of oil leaks. And then reinstall a new water pump, and timing belt. This vehicle was previously at an Acura Dealer where they claimed the oil pump needed replacing but after we inspected it, we found that it just needed resealing saving the customer quite a bit of money.
