b16 oil leak

There is a little oil on the corner of the headgasket. I replaced the distributor O ring but it still leaks. You can kind of see oil residue down the side of the vtec solenoid and some along the front of the block. I'm thinking maybe a leak somewhere in the vtec solenoid or maybe cam plug?


Any ideas?

Doesn't the VTEC solenoid also have an o-ring? Did you replace all the seals?

Prob the vtec soleniod...that thing needs to handle a lot of PSI and quite frequently it will leak.

Are you saying the head gasket is leaking oil? Major prob. on neons. Haven't seen to many on hondas, though.
