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?

clean everything up, run the engine and try to find where it is coming from?

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

I had a similar issue and it turned out I had a pin hole in my head gasket. It was shooting oil all over the car.

i replace the solonoid o ring and not the gasket and cam cap, my car would lose half a quart each week,
till i replace the vtec gasket and cam cap then it stop
did u replace both of those i know u mention vtec. theres 2 gaskets located on the side of the vtec and one o ring on the solonoid itself so theres 3

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