I replaced the O ring three times, even had a real mechanic do it the fourth time and it always leaks. I hate that fuking o ring.

I used honda bond on the flat surfaces of the block and dizzy when I installed the last o ring. I has never leaked now.

Maybe it's your cam seal then.

There's no cam seal on a SOHC.

For me, it ended up being the vtec solenoid gaskets. There are two of them. I'd replace the distributor o-ring, the valve cover gasket, and the vtec solenoid gaskets and that should fix the leak
