Where's the leak coming from
I noticed taht every few days, there is some oil on the front side of my engine...specifically over the area where the engine code is... could the leak be coming from the head gasket? I don't know where else it could be coming from... man i hope its not that... I don't wanna really do that right now.. never done it before, and it's getting winter here...
Could that be where it's coming from?

cam seal or vtec solenoid gasket. check those first before you take the head off. clean the engine really well and then check it in a few days and see where its coming from.

Yeah, the leak is from the cam seals.. i didn't start till i removed the valve cover. Is it just not tight enough?
or do i replace the seals?
