My b18a1 has been leaking oil down the right side and left side of the block. I thought it was the gasket so I took the head off and the gasket was fine. I replaced the old gasket since I took everything off and replaced other gaskets such as valve cover and camshaft rings. I blow smoke alot which doesn't really smell like oil. Im losing oil faster than usual and coolant faster than usual. Idk if oil is dripping down from the valve cover and making it look like the headgasket is not sealed or it could just be the headgasket. Any info on the matter??

If the exhaust is "sweet" smelling and white it will be a HG problem.

Did you have the head checked to see if it was warped or cracked?

Did you check for cracked cylinder walls?

Did you install the new HG properly?

Have you cleaned off the engine, [engine degreaser] to better see where the oil is coming from?94

Would do this first^ along with a leak-down test if possible, also check underneath/behind the engine for any oil or coolant leaks. Took me awhile to find all of mine I still have a few.

hold on, you pulled the head for an oil leak?
