this happend on my old crx cuz one of my head studs was stripped.....

heres what to do...

take off ur valve cover and wipe the excess oil from those gaskets. also wipe the edges where the valve cover meets the head. then either get a new set of valve cover gaskets or use the exsisting ones if ONLY IF U ARE SURE they arent worn broke or briddle....HOWEVER ***its always better to use new gaskets when doing stuff like this*** . also put some honda bond on the edges around the cam gear. also make sure the valve cover is properly torqued down. thats it

Change the valve cover GROMMETS. They usually come with a kit for a new valve cover gasket aswell. Mine where so bad it flooded the spark plug and wouldn't spark anymore...the engine died. I replaced them all and it started right up...with new plugs aswell.
