First off, I have a 93 eg Coupe with 227xxx miles. She runs like a beast, but it is leaking a good bit of oil. The whole front of the trans was covered in oil, so i scrubbed it clean to see where the leak was coming from. It looked like it was coming from the distributor so I replaced the o-ring. That fixed the small leak from the distributor, but not the leak all together. Now it seems to be coming from the vtec solenoid. What should I do??
Btw, I'm a girl and still kinda new to this.

change the vtec solenoid gasket not to difficult to change..im betting you have a leak at the rear main seal too.

Well I kinda figured that, but I can't find a made to fit gasket for the vtec solenoid anywhere. No auto parts stores around me have them, nor can they order.

Did you fix the VTEC solenoid leak? Is there oil inside the distributor? Have you replace the valve cover gasket?

I have a sim leak and changed a lot of things, valve cover gasket, vtec gasket, dizzy o ring, oil pan gasket..........after all that......a honda mechanic noticed it might be my head gasket, right in that area where it drips down to the trans.

I would look at the front of the engine, left to the dipstick where the block meets the head and see if there is a lot of oil, then it is the head gasket leaking oil.

head gasket was changed at about 260000 miles so its fairly new. valve cover gasket was changed 1000 miles ago. generic oring replaced at the same time. oil is coming from directly under the distributor. so the o ring doesn't fit properly and NOK makes a distributor seal that doesn't fit either. so lost...
