ok i put an ls vtec in my hatch a couple of days ago today i went to start it and everything seems ok except a really bad leak coming from the back when i crank the motor over it pours oil out were could this be coming from? could it be my head gasket? i could really use some help on this so any info will help. thanks

did you plug the head?

boostedcivicsir

is the head gasket on upside down? if it is it exposes the oil port that feeds the head. and pukes oil everywhere.

i got the ls vtec conversion kit for it and its all installd right but do i need to plug it from the bottom to? it seems like its coming from the passenger side of the motor

i dont think it is but i could be wrong but its coming from one spot

you have to tap the head and plug it with a 1/8'' npt plug.

There are instructions in the kit if you bought the kit. It even comes with a tap and the plug to do it.
