hello fellow h-t members..im from atl,ga but now in indiana for school and the apartment complexes wont let me work on my car so whatever it is i have to fix it asap before or when i get back down to atl for xmas, anyways, on my way down from thanksgiving my rear main seal went out, got that replaced with an oem replacement,replaced vtec solenoid,cam plug,t-belt and others, one day before school, i checked my car to make sure everything was ok and i see oil residue on my engine block code...i start the engine and i see it leaking from the upper solenoid also, im guessing its from either the dizzy o ring or the upper plug as seen in the pics the vtec harness has oil residue and also in the rear of my engine theres oil seeming to leak from where my oil filter is...please help i dont wish to break down on my way down to atl again...

it's likely to be one of the two. spray it clean with carb cleaner and watch to see where it comes from again. both are super fast and easy fixes. buy the parts and take your tools to a parking lot & do the fix. to do both you have a total of six bolts and a few minutes with a timing light.
Hmmmm It could be those items listed above.
I had a similar oil leak a while back, turns out the LS/Vtec Oil line fitting wasnt letting the head sit flush with the block and somehow caused a small leak.
