Default B20v first start up went bad

I finally got everything in I started the car and the oil pressure started to drop so I turned it off and I looked on the floor and there was oil everywhere. I had all my oil lines on tight and sandwich plate on tight but I can't find where it's coming from. Please can anyone help

Ya lets all just take blind stabs at this one.

Oil pump? Oil filter not on tight? Pinch a wire between filter and plate?

Suggestion: get a flashlight and use your eyes!

the oil came from the highest place up on the motor that you see oil. sometimes it can follow and run along some surfaces on the motor so you have to track it backwards.

Yes, the hole (that should now be plugged for use with a non-vtec block) in the bottom of the VTEC cylinder head that feeds the VTEC circuit was the first thing that came into my mind too...
