Whats up...long time reader, first time poster, I got a Sol with some problems but one of them is a LEAK i got coming from the distributor side...My Valve cover gasket isnt leaking, i changed my VTEC Sylenoid Gasket, and i changed my Cam Seal with a billet one from JHPUSA, and i changed the o-ring on the distributor but it seems like there is still oil leaking down the head from behind the distributor and it collects and drips down the front of my motor...any suggestions? I'll post pics up as soon as i can. THANKS!!!

 

BUMP for leaking sol

 

i had a similar problem and it went away after i changed oil and oil filter...dunno why but bump for exact tech info

 

Should be either the cam seal or distributor o-ring. I had the same problem, turned out to be the distributor o-ring. Can you pin point where the leak is coming from?

Did the distributor look like this:



When you pulled it off?

 

this happened to me before too. i replaced the o ring and still leaked. open up the dizzy cap to see if there is oil in there. if there is, you CAN get a new seal for the inside (forgot how to describe it) but IMO, just get a new one or something. the reason mine did that though was because i put the dizzy in 180 degrees off but the plugs were in the correct order being 180 degrees off. hope you understood that because i can bearly understand it have a nice day

 

I dont remeber if the distributor looked like that...imma go take a look right now

 

For those who may be curious...this is a pic of the patient...Yea i know red emblems I had some black ones that looked pretty hard but some No good thieves took em when i parked at the Mall So i threw the red ones back on...got to get some black ones but im broke and the Sol needs attention in other areas.

 

Nice sol...

 

try to look really closely to see exactly where it's coming from.
possibly headgasket leaking?
possibly VTEC solenoid leaking?
doublcheck cam seal and distributor seal?

Its not the VTEC Solenoid..trust thats no leaking at all i sealed that up good
Its not the cam seal cuz i changed it and its not leaking
Im checking out the distributor
And I really hope its not the head gasket cuz im broke and my parents want me to sell the car it has problems but i dont want to get rid of it ever!
THINGS THE SOL NEEDS:
Clutch Slave Cylinder
Brake Booster
Front Lower Ball Joints
Tires
Correct Camber Problem
Knock Sensor
Passenger Side Corner Light
Tires

 

front of your motor?? it could be the front cam seals if you have a DOHC its common. you sure you did not replace the cam plug seal? the front cam seals are diffrent.

 

I finally got around to taking off my distributor and I think i may have loacted the problem...the nice little cracks right?

 

bump for this guy and his sol.. i have a similar problem to his but mine leaks from where he describes behind the dizzy or so.. ive changed dizzy seal valve cover seals...etc.. but it still leaks from somewhere but leaks onto the tranny.. i still cant find that leak..
