Default Leak

Hello, I'm not the most savvy car guy, so I apologize in advance. I'm having trouble finding the leak..

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ipz4wj&s=8#.UyYBiz9dUnE

I changed the Vtec solenoid gasket, and I thought for sure that was the problem.. The gasket itself was cracked.. However it still continues to leak down.. IDK if the oil is trapped in between the block and head or what.. Am I missing something else? where Could it be leaking from? It leaks down right over where the b18c is. I have wiped it off 4x after changing the gasket and the leak continues (though it is not nearly as bad).. Thoughts?

distributor or the cam seal spay that whole area down with brake parts cleaner then you'll be able to pin point it.

When you say Dizzy, did you mean the O-ring?

Yeah that's what he meant. The O-rings dry out all the time on those distributors.

Is there a diff between hondabond and any other RVT? I did use some off brand RVT and applied it onto the cam seal. unfortunatly I didnt change it though, because they accidentally gave me the wrong ones. They gave me the one seals on the opposite side of the head.
