Ok, I, as well as many others on the board, have some kind of oil leak around the distrb. , vtec solenoid, etc.. that runs down over the engine/block code. Well, I tried taking eveything apart today , since it was warmer out here. I know , now, that the leak is NOT coming from the distributor. Either the Cam Seals, the vtec solenoid is where i"m thinking. Where else could the leak come from? Head Gasket?

Or is it just one of the two?

Well, oil is getting all over the front of my engine. I haven't checked the oil level for like 4-6 weeks. Today I checked it and it's fine. Not low at all. But come on I don't wanna have to scrub my engine down everyday, to keep the oil off it.

I swear... it's always the little stuff that gets ya. They really stick it in and break it off.

I know that alot of people on here have had that problem, I've seen all the threads. I've never replaced cam seals before; I found a couple good step step by step things on the net. I've done the engine swap my self as well as other stuff, just never been 'inside' the engine really. On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is this gonna be for me?

9 times out of 10 its the cam plug, the vtec solenoid gasket, or the dist o-ring.
