I have oil coming down the back of the block seems to be originating from the pcv valve box , this is a leak no just a drop or two. Do the seals go bad on this black box and cause a a trickle of oil to run down the block? If I can crawl under there i will post a photo

 

yes the seals can go bad...over time, the rubber hardens to the point that is no longer pliable

i had your exact situation happen to me...i just replaced everything

The seal is a couple bucks at acura. You have to take the IM bracket off but other than that its not that bad. I left my bracket off....

 

Are you guys talking about this one? Excuse the craptacular picture.
