How to take care of this oil leak!

First off I don't know much about cars, but I do know its leaking oil because it rained and there was a huge oil slick, and there's oil underneath my car where i park it almost always fresh. My car's oil light went on too for the first time ever.

Here are some photos:

Oooh, you need a whole VTEC valve.

Since you didn't say what your car actually is, I looked up a 98 EX 4 door.



They don't list the seal for the upper half, you have to buy the whole valve to get it.

Actually, look up your own car. Don't use the one I guessed at. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/

Probably need the rest of any original rubber seals/gaskets replaced too: The O ring on the distributor, the valve cover gasket, etc.

I really hope you haven't bought the whole vtec solenoid because you can buy a new upper vtec solenoid gasket most of the parts diagrams don't have it listed and I have no clue why but I found the part number on line if i can find it again I'll put it up. I do suggest changing both gaskets though.
