Oil leak in Tube #3
94 Honda Accord LX (2.2l non v-tec)
oil leaking onto sparkplug in #3 tube...
i opened the valve cover and replaced the cover gasket, and tube seals. i took a flashlight and looked into the 3rd tube (where the oil seems to be leaking) and i saw some dark oil and what appears could be a piece of the o-ring sticking out from the side? near the bottom of the tube. when i inspected the gaskets i took out, there didnt seem to be any visual damage. i'd have to say there's a 95% chance its the o-ring.
this is not good... looks like i'm going to have to take out the rocker arm assembly and get in there. how hard is that? or can i ignore the problem?

No, I would not ignore the problem. read this thread, if you think you can do it yourself, print the directions and a manual wouldn't hurt either. If you run into trouble ask. We'll be here. Good luck. What ever you decide to do.
