Default Oil leak/spray at high rpm's

My B18C1 started to leak oil pretty decently and i can't figure out where it is coming from. It is on the back of the block and seems to be between the filter and the PCV black box. It is spraying out onto the firewall and bottom of the intake manifold only when driven hard, at idle it doesn't leak at all.

Im trying to figure out where it could come from, i can only think of the oil pressure sensor hole (my oil feed line goes there and it seems clean), the filter/sandwich/cooler, which all seem to have good gaskets, and then the PCV black box. Any ideas where it could come from??

I found it on my car. There was a threaded hole behind the PCV black box that was open and blowing out oil. I put a bolt in it and it is fine now, it is right behind the black box so pull that black box off and put a bolt in it if it is the same as mine.

Does your engine have the siphon hose coming from the oil filter area that goes to the vtec solenoid/oil supply?

Yea, might wanna check that out. My buddy threw a b20vtec in his delsol, and the pre-filter siphon hose that leads to the vtec solenoid had to be replaced with thousand pound steel braided line. 50-90 psi running through that line at full tilt...was pissin all over the place.

Thats because it was a B20 vtec so you need an external oil feed, GSRs are internal.
