on the part that bolts to the head or the top part
maybe a headgasket?? i dunno
clean the place with degreaser where the leak is and then drive around pop hood and look exactly where the leak is

Yea, I've done that too and fo'sure the leak is coming from the Vtec Spool valve. If you look closed you can see the oil starting to building up where the spool valve housing connects to the head. I already replaced the O-ring gasket on the housing so it could be the smaller o-ring on the selanoid.

yeah does it still engage?
then the valve is still good
tighen it down more?
i just rebuilt my b16 and the only gasket i didnt replace was the vtec sol. it doesnt leak it looked kinda old so i torqued it a little more than usual so... i dunno
maybe a nick in the gasket or the head/valve i really couldnt tell without looking at it
