1992 Honda InspireEngine & cooling

Oil seal failed without warning while traveling, all oil drained out. Car had to be towed to service station where they replaced a failed oil seal, balance shaft belt, timing belt, ac belt, and power steering belt. Additional costs incurred for epa/hazmat disposal fees. Luckily oil light came on & operator's quick reaction averted catastrophic failure. Service station advised us of recalls for this identical problem: consumer complaints already filed odi #s 517744 & 734948. *Ak
