Default huge oil leak, gasket question...

Hey, I bought an EG hatch with a JDM B16A from an SIR2...anyway, i noticed that if I drive hard and hit lift, I smelled more oil burning than usual. I drove it home and popped the hood to find that the trans is oily...I think my head gasket is going out...Is it okay if i used a head and oil pan gasket from a del Sol vtec? Are they compatible like most vtec b-series? I know not to use a GSR or any 1.8 or 1.7 liter gasket, but I'm not sure about the gasket...

also, I pulled off the transmission sticker and the car has the y21 trans from japan...how can i tell if it has LSD or not without pulling the diff. out?

Take a picture.You can use the gsr. Look up the part numbers for the b16 and the gsr. It's the same part number. To check if your tranny has lsd. Just jack the front end of the car up and put it in neutral and spin the wheel by hand . If one wheel spins one way and the other spins the other way. You don't have lsd.
