Default 93 Civic si w/ b16 head/b18a bottom -- oil leak

93 Honda Civic si b16 head with a b18a bottom!


i cleaned my engine bottom and over night it got pretty messy, i changed the valve cover gasket, look around inspected saw nothing. I'm no mechanic but i tried. my solenoid is a kitty rusty too and looks as if its coming from around there



there was no oil after i cleaned it the next morning this was there





could it be coming from here?

Remove and disassemble the VTEC solenoid. Either replace both gaskets or clean them well and seal with hondaBond before reassembly.

^ agree. That's where it looks like it's coming from..or from the cam plug seal. Start with vtec solenoid.
