Ever time I open up the hood, I see the valve cover having bigger spots of soaked oil on it. It seems to be coming from a bolt right behind the spark plugs more and more. What should I be replacing here?

 

If I understand correctly, the oil is leaking from the valve cover grommets. They're the little rubber parts that have metal washers under the nuts that hold your valve cover on. Replace these, the grommets are about 3 bucks each at your local honda deal.

What is a CX? I've never heard that trim applied to 88-91 models... Maybe this will help:

Is the bolt you're referring to one of the chrome nuts (#12)? Then it might be the washer/grommet underneath. Or maybe you just need to tighten it.

 

The cx is a candian model of the std.

That pic really helps out alot.

 

Yeah its the valvecover washers.. there under the nut that holds the valvecover on.


I was missing one and oil leaked real bad, now i got one but my powercoated block looks like hell
