How do I adjest the front struts on a 99 Honda Accord

SOURCE: Hood struts

there is a little c-shaped clip on the top and bottom sockets of the strut where they attach on the hood and fender , support the hood with a stick, and pry these two clips back while pulling the strut off the ball studs, you do not need to remove the clips all they way, then the new ones just push on to the ball studs, good luck and please rate -jeff

Wash the engine if need be to find the source of the leak.  It could be the oil fill cap, the valve cover gasket, the oil filter seal or a dozen other places.
