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?

There are a few gaskets for the vtec solenoid (behind the distributor cap) 3 10mm bolt hold it on. I've had to replace it before. Could be cam seals as well. Got them changed when my timing belt/water pump was done. Another known leaker is the oil cooler gasket that attaches itself to your oil filter

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.

Yes you can go to the dealership or go here on eBay and find them.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Genuine-...c68b65&vxp=mtr
And the upper triangle gasket for the vtec solenoid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Honda-Ci...abb1ce&vxp=mtr

Where are the cam gaskets?

Well it could be the cam plug dizzy side of engine but on the intake cam. Cam seals are right behind each cam gear.
