Leaking Head
I have a 1991 CRX HF that I recently put a B18A1 in and I noticed that after the car has been running for about 10 minutes I see a small amount of oil seeping out of the right corner where the head meetes the block.
It's not a lot of oil but just kind of drips out and forms a small puddle under the car. The car doesn't seem to be running hot or anything and I've already replaced the head gasket and it's still there.
Would this be caused by a warped head or maybe the head bolts not being properly torqued down?

Yeah, that happens every now and then. Hard to say what the issue is. You could be right on both the warped head, or the torque on the bolts.
...both would indicate the head gasket has been replaced. How's your oil/coolant...color wise?

Since it happen before and after I replaced the head gasket would it be a little safer to say that it's the head since the head gasket has already been replaced? I can only see it coming from that one little spot in the corner and all the head seems to be seated properly with no leaks.
I know I replaced the head on a car last week and it looked fine until I came back from the test drive. I looked under the car and it was pouring oil out the back where the head meets the block.
