Re: 98 civic ex solenoid valve and oil pressure switch.
Are you asking if that is causing your leak on the vtec spool valve?
The oil pressure switch can leak a little oil, but most of the leak will be from valve to the engine.

This is simple, there are 3 bolts, you will see them on the side of the spool valve, take them off, remove the valve, you will see a 3 hole gasket like a snowman, peel it off, put on the new one, fits one way, reinstall, do not go crazy tighten it.

Do not tighten too too much you can crack the spool valve.

Re: 98 civic ex solenoid valve and oil pressure switch.
yeah I got a new gasket for it, but I think I over tighten it. First thing I kinda work my way around it, softly and then and little more and I keep going around but then I tighten to were it can't move anymore. Which I think I super tight it, :/
