Default Gasket/seal Question

whats the gasket or seal right underneath the vtec solenoid, it seems like oil is leaking from it.

If its right behind the VTEC solenoid, thats your cam shaft seal. The factory ones leak after a while. You can buy better replacements off of ebay for like $25 that dont leak.

My personal choice would be to go with OEM - for 6 or 7 $ it would be worth it....
