There's some oil on the left side, i guess under the vtec solenoid. What could it be? I'm about to retorque my head studs cuz I haven't done it yet since I installed them new. Could that be why? It's only on that side and it's barley any.

 

 

cam seal plug possibly

 

Anyone know the part # for it is? And is there only one?

 

mine leaks a little from there too. cam seals i believe

hahah. ill see if i can find an aftermarket one for cheap if not ill get an oem one

 

cam seal plug

 

could be the cam seal, get a new aftermarket one with 2 o-rings.

then if u wanna make sure it wont leak then get a new vtec solenoid seal and it should be sealed after that... if not, then you could have a problem.

i guess kenny tran used to run ebay parts (ac AUTOTECHNIC) on his old race car hatch then...lol

 

its busted! you should sell that C. TO ME! holla

 

hmm i have the same problem, i see a little oil every now and then after a little spirited driving.

 

I had the same issue, thought it was the cam plug, and it turned out to be the solenoid gasket. I pulled the solenoid off and cleaned up the gasket and surrounding metal. Used some RTV, and no more leaks. give that a try
