Hi i have noticed , after cleaning the engine very nicely , that there is very small quantity of oil accumulating here.



i think that a head gasket should solve this problem ??
and also here on this other spot.

now what other gasket / part do i replace in order to stop that ?

if i was todo a compression test on my engine would i see any difference due to this smal leak ?

 

It might not be the headgasket (let's hope)..Mine was leaking right there to and i found out it was actually from the distributor,,and the oil was seeping down there.....Replaced the o-ring which basically fell apart when i removed it and everything is all good....

 

How would i know it's not the head gasket ? would a compression test do any good ???

compression tests dont always tell the whole story......Are you loosing coolant? any white smoke out the exhaust? Oil mixing with coolant?

 

just replace ur cam seal which u said was leaking. and replace the dizzy o-ring and i think ur problem will be solved if not then the head gasket would be my last resort as long as the car is running fine.

 

those place are common leak for bseries honda motors..usausly replace the cam seal with a aftermarket one..replace headgasket and put a dap of RVT or spray some cooper spray and u should be good

 

its the headgasket leaking.. dont worry about it 95% of b series leak there.

I think his kit should do it ? it seems like a resonable price for me.

if im not mistaken.... the spot in picture one is directly beneath the place where the leak is in photo two...

im guessing you have one leak. gravity is making it look like two.

check the cam seal.
