Default Oil leaking when vtec engages????

Whenever i smash on my car it oil drops on the header by the o2 sensor and smokes up real bad... I don't see any oil around the vtec sylenoid, and no oil around the oil filter, there is some seepage coming from the oil pan where its meets the block, but it only leaks real bad when i drive hard... My motor is a 2001 b18c5 with a GSR head... Another theory i have is maybe its coming out of the tranny, do lsd trannys use different axle seals???

Also, i had to set my idle at 1200 so it will idle normal with the ac on... Why isn't the motor compensating when my ac is on????


Thanx in Advance

Mike

If you bought it new or used, it still should be under warranty..Take it back asap..that's ridiculous.

i bought a whole wrecked integra, and since i put the motor in myself in my car, warranty is void...

Another thing could the small b16 header cause the oil pan to leak? Cause it is up against the oil pan....

take your oilpan off
replace the gasket
put some liquid gasket on it
and reinstall
it sounds like the oil is leaking onto your header.

As for your idle problem. Check to make sure you didnt confuse the power steering pressure switch plug with the IACV plug. It wont throw a code or adjust your idle. My friend was at the dealer 5 times with that problem and I found it in 1/2 and hour. Can you say refund.
