Default h23a head problems

I recently had a head job done on my h23a non vtec head. It is leaking oil out of the back of the head. It looks like a piece is missing!! The oil leaks out of a place that has B B B B on it!! It would seem as if a plug or bolt or something would go there if you can help me out please let me know something!!!!!

Is it leaking directly back or down into the side? I had a huge leak before but it was from my water pump. It was an OEM water pump wijth 202k and then it started spewing oil everywhere.

im not exactly sure what you mean, wipe away any oil and run the car and see if you can watch where its coming from , take a picture, a picture is worth a million words

it would be a cold day in hell before your water pump leaked oil, so it must have been something else.. maybe a balancer shaft seal?

Check your cam seals and make sure tha tthey are not worn, or ripped. Make sure that they are installed under the cam caps with Hondabond/Permatex/silicone too.
I had the same problem.
