1997 Honda Accord.... Buzzing noise on startup. ABS light on. Oil leak... Possibly from hydraulic motor mount?

I have a '97 Accord with the 4cyl. vtec and an auto trans. When I first start the car there is a buzzing or like a humming noise that happens. As soon as the noise stops, the ABS light comes on. I have noticed that the ABS doesn't work. The brakes WILL lock up if I slam on them. I have also noticed an oil leak that seems to be coming from the hydraulic motor mount. What could be causing this noise? My in-laws took it to a mechanic a year or so before they sold the car to my wife and I and he told them that it was a problem with the AC compressor and he would be happy to replace it for them, but it wouldn't be a problem to drive it either. So, my question is, what is the noise? And is it a common problem for these to leak from the hydraulic motor mount? It only has about 104K miles on it. Thanks!1997 Honda Accord....

the mechanic that told you the leak was A/C related was an idiot. The leak is from the accumulator, and the buzzing is because the pump can't build up pressure. Report Abuse

an easy/lazy way to get rid of the buzzing is to remove the pump's fuse from the ABS fuse box under the hood. The quoted fix from the Honda dealership is ~$1500, the part alone costs $1000. You may be able to convince them to fix it since its on the TSB. Report Abuse

another ';cheap'; way to fix it is grab the accumulator/pump assembly from the junkyard, run you $50-100 and replace them yourself, but be warned that the factory service manual says to only work on ABS if you have a trained ABS technician near you AND have a separate ABS manual. Report Abuse

sorry for the quad answer, yahoo is apparently an idiot, how am I supposed to help you fix a problem if they won't let me post more than 300 characters. I understand its ';comments'; but your unresolved problem got moved to a ';resolved'; area... Report Abuse
