oil leaking from headgasket
headgasket done on jdm h22
the oil is leaking on the cam gear side
the wierd thing about this oil leak is that it leaks once the car is off. looking at the cam gears the oil leaks from the back of the block. its a slow seeping out once the car is off. even more wierd is when u start it after the oil puddles it looks as if it sucks back in.... oem gasket with arp studs.
anyone thing the block or head is warped...the block was never checked but the head was....

Is the leak on the lower side (oil pump o-rings, etc.) or upper side camshaft o-rings, etc.)?
Clean everything up real nice, get the car on a jack and start it, check underneath and from above to locate the leak. I just fixed a serious leak on mine. The seals around the camshafts, and oil pump had all gone bad. If its the oil pump seals its basically the same job as a timing belt I just took it to a honda shop. it was about $30 dollars in seals, $100 for a new tensioner (mine was bad anyqay) and $150 for labor. I wouldve done this myself I just didnt have the time.
