Icon2 oil leak

I recently found out my pcv valve came loose so I replaced with a new one. Now I have oil coming from the distributor and some from the vtec solenoid. I've replaced front and rear seals when I did the mini-me swap a couple of months back. What is causing this mess?

Well if you KNOW those things are leaking why not replace the gaskets/seals/o-rings associated with them and go from there?

all the gaskets were replaced and nothing was leaking for months. I can't figure out what could be the problem now.

if its leaking, the gaskets you already replaced need to be replaced again, no way around it n it where you ALWAYS start when oil leaks from a seam. Buy better gaskets this time.. Also if it "just came loose" without you doing anything then odds are the screw or the hole is stripped or warped but replace the gasket first.
