ok i have noticed a small oil leak where my head meets the block right between the vtec solonoid. i have cleaned it foo but when i check it the next day theres a little there again not a lot but enough to bother me into asking this. my question is how would i solve this problem? is it because my head gasket is bad? or is it because the bolts that hold the head on the block are slightly loose or not torqued right?

also i checked to see if the oil was leaking from the cam seal and it is not coming from there its is perfectly fine

Could very possibly be the head gasket. Any other leaks? How bad is it?

no there are no other leaks at all i mean the leak itself isnt that bad but im sure over a months maybe 2 months period of time it could lose maybe 1/4 a quart but i was wondering to stop it maybe i could retorque the studs that bolt the head to the block or should i just pay a shop to replace the head gasket for me and be safer than sorry?

try adding that oil leak stuff, but its prob the HG, you can still roll with a little leak, it wont be bad. i know that replacing the HG would be expensive if you dont know how to do it yourself.
