what is actually leaking>

if it is a bit of dribble on the corner by the engine stamp, that is normal
and it is not coming from the head gasket. if this is what you are experiencing,
chances are the leak is coming from the disty seal, cam seal or the corner
of the valve cover and leaking down into that crease. once the oil gets in there,
it travels along the seam of a gap.

I would look into it further before even touching those bolts. if you do,
chances are you risk warping your head surface.

ummm...i suggest getting a manual before you screw it up even more. you cant just go tightening head bolts with no rhyme or reason unless you like warped heads.

Sup,
It is leaking at the front left corner where the serial stamp of the headgasket is located..the rest of the gasket looks fine by the timing belt and back behind by the intake manifold there all nice and dry..it doesnt leak alot but its enough that it drips down by the b18c5 stamp...the cam seals and everything else are ok the plug under the vtec solenoid has some oil on it...the car runs fine no oil in the coolant..but she doesnt run like a itr hatch should run thats for sure...i was talking to a honda acura shop down here and they said that its ok to retorque the head or take it off and torque it back down..just i havent been able to locate the specs i cant find my little haynes anywhere...so any advice would help..thanx alot peace
