During my most recent oil change at a Honda dealer I was told my front brake pads were down to one mm and needed to be replaced shortly. Based on this information I ordered new front ceramic brake pads. When I removed the old pads I discovered that they have at least 4mm of friction surface left, not the 1mm stated by the dealer. I plan to take the removed pads to the dealership and discuss this information with the service manager.

Looking at engine, right side of camshaft there is a round cover about 1.5" diameter. The o-ring dried and cracked after 14 years of driving and leaked oil onto transmission and down onto driveway, about 1/8 quart per week. Only leaked when engine was running. Wiring manifold from computer to sensors is right next to it and there is no slack so moving it out of the way was difficult. Disconnecting the wires from sensors was more difficult to get to so I didn't do that, only disconnected the ones I could easily see and get to.
