Help!!!!! Oil leak

I recently replaced almost all of the gaskets on my engine and the engine is continuing to leak oil from around the VTEC solenoid it is a d16 and I have replaced the solenoid seal. Any ideas as to what it could be? Id prefer not not tearing into the engine to find it so soon after a big project.

Did you replace BOTH of the VTEC gaskets?

I just replaced the VTEC to head gasket. I'll replace the coil gasket and let you know if anything changes.

Re: Help!!!!! Oil leak

Read the linked thread I posted.

If you go to your dealer and ask for one for your own car, they will never find it.


You have to be very specific.
You could even call and just ask for the part number you need.
