Your oil filter may be constricting oil flow. Honda's can build up quite the oil pressure, especially during high rpm's. This constriction can add pressure or even a buildup of oil around your seals and gaskets. If you have old or weak seals, chances are your engine will start to cry oil. I'm not a pro but I've seen oil leaking from my vtec solenoid and distributor every time I reach high rpm's. I finally changed the o-ring and gasket. For you, I would get a different filter. Preferably Honda made.

Thanks Scottchy014 I'll look into that, and yea my PVC is making a loud whistling sound when the car is warmed up...I replaced it with a new OEM one and it's still doing the same high pitch whistle...
