Default Oil leak from head?

I just started leaking oil from the head and I am hoping someone can help me fix it.

There is a round rubber seal on the left side of the head that seams to be popping out slightly on me.

I went to honda and bought a new one and it is still not wanting to stay in place.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so how do I prevent it from happening.

It only leaks very slowly, but runs clear down my block and drips onto my downpipe. (burnin up)

This is very annoying and somewhat embarassing since it is a tiny problem I just cant seem to fix.

Thanks for the help.

try replace the cam seals. The search function is a good resource to use.

Isn't that the seal I already replaced? That didn't work it is still popping out and leaking.

Maybe I will try this. It seams a little different. Maybe it will hold in place better.

Thanks for the help.

By the Way I did try and search but came up empty handed. I didn't know what the seal was called so that made searching a little harder.

Thanks again
