I have a 2003 honda civic ex with the d17 a2 226000 miles parked last night ran fine it has had a small leak arround valve cover but was only losimg a quarter of a quart ever couple weeks but went this mornimg to the doctor which was about an hour drive and when i was on my way home one of the doctors called me which i missed ans they had left a voicemail telling me i left a long trail and large puddle of oil leaving so when i get home there is oil everywhere! Was sprayed all over exhaust and dipstick had no oil on it when i got home i put oil in it but then it didmt leaked so i started the car snd saw it rush out the top below the valve cover right below the injectors i know its not the valcover gasket i took a picture of where its coming from any ideas? The leak is right below the blue wire
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Strange oil leak
Can't tell what is in the first pic....
2nd looks like the VTEC solenoid needs fresh gaskets?
Honda part numbers:
Upper gasket# 36172-P08-015
Lower gasket with filter screen# 15825-P2M-005
