Oil Leak

My mechanic says that the B16A2 engine in my Civic is leaking oil from the part indicated with an arrow. Is this possible? Do i have to replace it and if so what is the part called?

Re: Oil Leak

Yes it is possible, the piece comes of as 1 whole unit and it has a gasket to prevent oil leaking from it. It's possible you might just have to replace the gasket depending on where it's coming from.

Re: Oil Leak

I am referring to the part below the VTEC solenoid not the solenoid itself. It is bolted directly into the cylinder head and I now suspect it is the engine coolant temperature sensor.
