Default oil sludge under distributor?
I have a 99' civic si with 165k on it........car runs fine just burns oil in vtec and is tired, I have already changed the valve cover gasket about a month ago but now I see oil sludge under the distributor and I am thinking it is the vtec solanoid gasket. Oil is ONLY on the passenger side of the block under the distributor. Any suggestions as to what this is?? please help thank you

Distributor o-ring is most likely the cause. Should be like a $10 part from a dealership.
