Leak near distributor side/rear vtec solenoid side by intake manifold. between head/block.

i got a question the other week i checked my car and found it had lots of oil, sludge somewhat leak looking on the top and at the bottom of my oil pan sides trans rear side, near the shift linkage rods, oil filter, and between the bottom oil pan and trans side rear.

i degreased the whole side engine and cleanded off. that way i can find where the leak is coming from.

this week i checked again and i noticed only leaks that looked it came from the rear of the valve cover vtec solenoid side, thermostat areas and near the distributer side. and i saw oil stains some what on top of the trans mission top. the leak looked between the block and the head only in those areas. and i saw a drip on the bottom of the oil filter housing.

what do you think is really leaking??

is my head gasket bad???

Post some clear pictures of areas where you think the oil is leaking from.

Suspect sites for leaks are the valve cover gasket, distributor O-ring, and VTEC solenoid gasket.
