I just recently bought this Civic. It drips oil everywhere and smells. The front of the motor and tranny is covered in fresh oil all the time. It looks like it is coming out right by the Vtec solenoid. I replaced the valve cover, Vtec, and distributor seal.....still it leaks.
Any other ideas?

I did and I was saying it still seems to be most wet around the Vtec solenoid. The radiator hose where it connects is all wet back there

Did you replace #11? Sometimes it can be the valve cover gasket or the cam seal.
