96 Civic Vtec engine oil leak.

I have oil running off the driver side, drive-shaft inner joint, that's more than just mild seepage, and I can't readily tell where it's coming from.
Another thread mentioned a similar leak, and determined it to be the EX VTEC, Solenoid seals/gaskets, but that solenoid is on the passenger side of the engine, so not sure if a leak from it could run down on the driver side inner drive-shaft joint?
Any informative suggestions would be appreciated!

Re: 96 Civic Vtec engine oil leak.

Just get an oil change? Post some photos. Easiest way to figure out where the leak is coming from is to throughly clean the engine and then go for a 10-15 min drive. As soon as you're home get it up on stands/ramps and start looking for the leak
