03 honda accord 224k miles. was adding a quart a month, now, after taking to a disreputable shop, is leaking from several places, according to another shop. 2 questions, how clean up to verify where its leaking and how much? and what should I do about it if true? I have to hang onto this car. ---

To clean up, place a catch pan below the engine and spray the engine down with brake parts cleaner. Has anyone checked if the PCV system is restricted? Testwwr ---

After cleaning engine as best you can, there is a dye at parts stores you can add to your oil. Drive it and in a day or two take a black light and follow the trail of oil to its source. ---
