Default vtec gasket leak

hello guys


i need help please

i found leakage under the vtec i open it and i didn't find any gasket or maybe there because there is a filter on it
but it was flat .

so i didn't think its damaged i just put some silicon then i replace it back

but still same again leaking so my question is should i buy a new gasket and replace it or there is any solution

thanks

Engine? The solenoid has two gaskets. Replace both. Alternatively, seal both, torque bolts to spec, and let the sealant set a day before driving the car.

Very important here. Over torque the bolts and it can leak.
