I have a little oil leak and I need help identifying the seal or gasket that I need to change.


I hope the picture helps, thanks.

 

More angles would help. At this point, I would suspect the VTEC solenoid or valve cover gasket.

 

I've changed both recently. The valve cover a couple months back and the vtec solenoid gasket a month ago.

 

Looks like the cam seal to me.

 

VTEC solenoid! Mine is leaking in exactly the same place right now. My leak is bad though... like a quart of oil every 2 tanks of gas... probably from smacking vtec too much...

edit: i looked closer at your photo, looks more like your cam cap. Honda calls it "Cylinder Head Plug"

 

By cam cap are you referring to the that little black piece attached to the head near the VTEC solenoid? If so yes thats where its leaking from. Thanks for the name. I will change that and the cam seal just to be safe. I thought it was the vtec solenoid gasket but I know its not b/c I had it changed recently. Thanks for the help.
