Oil leak
Hey everyone, I got my 2000 prelude back about 6 months ago and it had an oil leak from day 1. At first I thought it was the rings just burning oil however I recently did a dry and wet compression test and they were perfect results. And looking at my motor every side but the side with the exhaust manifold is wet from oil. I replaced my valve cover gasket because the oil starts around that and it is still leaking oi. Any ideas of what it could be? I am starting to think that it's the oil pressure sending unit. Oh and it mostly uses oil when it is in v tec. Any ideas?

Re: Oil leak
Vtec Gasket same here.
I just troubleshoot my major oil leek to a bad Vtec Gasket just not sure if it were it hooks to the block or the triangle seam. I will lose all my oil in 2 days. Anyone know how muck the gaskets are. I was told I would have to go to the dealer for them.
