I have a 99 honda accord EX and tiny amounts of oil spray from my exhaust, I only noticed it because I have to keepo adding oil to the engine every 2 weeks or so. After not seeing any oil spot near engine looked at muffler and there were spray marks on the ground. Why? Also My check engine light is on for O2 sensor or Cat Converter. Guessing this is reason why!

I forgot to mention, just changed the timing belt, water pump and accessory belts. Then problem arose

the most likely answer is you need piston rings.

Oil in the exhaust would normally indicate worn piston rings or valve seals. the o2 sensor is probably the one before the cat that is going bad.

ck oil level before adding anymore. when oil is overfill it doesn't have a place to go so it come out of the tail pipe.
