does anyone know where this leak possiblity is leaking from????

Its kind of hard to tell where you really pointing to. Is around the distributor? It could be the dizzy o-ring then. Almost looks like oil is all over the front of the head, might be the valve cover gasket then.

By just looking at the pics provided I can safely say that it is definately a combination of a valve cover gasket/distributor seal.
If you decide to replace them yourself make sure to use some Hondabond where the service manual/Haynes manual reccomendeds

Good Luck!

ya its not like leaking on the ground or anything just a lil bit down from the valve cover and on the left side. does it look bad???

nemesiskrp

you think it would be hard to fix the leak?? est the time and money on the parts?? thanx

z6hatchboy

Bad really depends on how much oil you have to add to it ever week or so. But no oil leak is a good one. The dizzy o-ring is $2.00 from honda, and you can get a fel-pro valve cover gasket from your local auto parts store for around $20 i think.

z6hatchboy

Royal purple? I wouldnt pay the price for it, but some do. You'll be fine with some mobil 1 5w-30 non-synthetic.

Just get OEM ones they are really cheap, and you also have piece of mind that they will fit with no problems.
