D16Y8 oil leak
I am am trying to find the cause of these engine leak on the front of my engine. I replaced the Vtec seloniod and distributor O-ring. It almost looks like the oil is coming from the corner of the head gasket. However, coolant is still green and oil has no coolant in it. Any ideas. It's not coming from under the distributor.

Re: D16Y8 oil leak
Just did all the seals on my y8 recently to stop leaks in the same area. Dizzy o-ring, vtec solenoid seals (all of them) and valve cover gasket. My source ended up being a brittle and cracked vtec solenoid gasket in the between the two parts of the solenoid.

Re: D16Y8 oil leak
To me it's as simple as taking off the dizzy or the vtec solenoid cleaning it off and looking at the gasket any small brittleness, fraying, or tears then I'd replace.
EDIT: If the leak still persists, do a compression test on the motor if the hg is leaking itll show.
