But i'm most certain its the fuel filter.

I never seen the CEL come on ..even when i put the key in the ignition.
Is that normal ..i ask that because my previous car would show it while putting the key in (1990 celica)

When you turn the key to run all the warning lights should come on, at least for a second. It's a self check thing.

Check for codes. I know people that would open the dash and put black electrical tape over the lights, so they couldn't see them.

Rsquared is right. Your CEL should come on when you turn your key on.

so i went in my trunk 2day to check my fuel filter
i removed the carpet & doy! i found all the original manuals, spare tire, jack & tire iron & sum other stuff

lol i just bought the accent in december so i hadn't had time to "scavanger hunt" it thru

[Rsquared]

Glad you found all that stuff but, your filter is under the back seat. Check the pressure of your spare. Nothing worse than getting a flat...and grabbing a flat.

i check the pressure with this psi machine i'd have for yearrrrsssss. lol
so for the filter i basically have to remove the left back seat to look at the filter.

2morrow morning i'ma go 2 autozone & do the code check because now i do think that the CEL light bulb went out & this car has low mileage (115k)

also found a small oil leak ..i could see the oil light pop up 4 a second whenever i made a turn ..hope its nothing serious

[Rsquared]

Your filter will be under the seat. This picture isn't the best but it should help with the latches. Or check your manual, because I didn't think the seat was two parts. The back rest is split but not the seat.

Your blinking oil light could be several things. Have you checked the oil level recently? Let us know tomorrow what the codes are. And the leaky rocker cover...is a fairly easy job.

[Moose16]

the oil level was low so i'ma put 1 quart tomorrow while i'm at A-Z
i'ma also check the filter 2 see if its loose or something [i doubt it]

its gonna be a tough job getting that backseat cushion out ..but i'm off work monday-wednesday so lets work
