Blown head gasket?
Well i have been on here trying to figure out what could be the problem with my car having low compression and making low numbers on the dyno......check this out...i was going through the car after running another compression test and also just checking for some boost leaks when i cleaned up around the head and found this.....fluid leaking from the head gasket or what i believe is coming from the headgasket......what do you think?

looks like the oil is leaking down to the headgasket area.......have a look at your valve cover gasket or cam seal.
i dont think your headgasket is leaking.

yeah, that looks like EVERY b series motor ive ever seen. they all leak a little bit right there. there is nothing wrong with the head gasket. if it was blown, you would be pressurizing your cooling system under boost and the thing would overheat like MAD.
if it was the head gasket, you would overheat after a hard boost run, like a 3rd gear pull. the car would be fine, then about 10 seconds after the pull your coolant temp guage would shoot up to hot till u relieved the pressure.

yea i agree, all mine leak right there. if its a vtec motor, especially an old jdm b16, the vtec solenoid gaskets might be leaking a lil, mine was

no doubt, mine has a tiny bit of oil right theere every now and then
usually comes from old cam seal, or Distributor seal, then it just runs down and forward.
you would know if you had a headgasket problem john, your motor would run like ***, you oil would have coolant in it, your car would run HOT, and you definetley wouldnt be boosting it
i told you what to do and how to solve the issues
i tuned a sohc, with a pieced together kit this weekend and it made 174...........
and a gsR all motor, with bolt ons, 173..........
listen to my old ***
