Engine: 99 GSR
Problem: Leaking Oil from the the corner of block to the Left of the Header

Ive replaced the Head Gasket and put in ARP headbolts, and its steal leaking, could it be the headbolts werent tightned right? could some one help me?

 

Cam seal and/or VTEC solenoid.

 

the vtec solenoid is leaking but that is getting fixed i have the gaskets already, its coming from the corner of the headgasket, the same spot it was leaking last time, its where the headgasket goes on and all the way to the left of the header

 

I have the same leak. My VTEC solenoid is trickling down and pooling around the headgasket tab. My engine has about 5k on it, so I doubt its the HG.

Check the cam seal as well.

 

It's probably your cam seal. I've seen this happen to my own car and friends.

The best way to narrow it down just in case it is not the cam seal would be to get a can of brake or carb cleaner and spray down the oil (it will just wash the oil away like magic).

Then take your car for a romp around the block and let vtec engage. Then pop your hood and there should be a small amount of oil coming from the leak and you will be able to pinpoint it.
