Default Is it a problem? Very slight oil leak on block.

Hey guys just wanted your opinions on how much of a immediate problem this is. The plan is to fix all the suspension age related issues and a full service. Once happy I'll keep it NA and do a couple of small autocross days before the eventual turbo kit and a more serious set up.

So is this oil leak an issue or nothing major. There is next to nothing coming out and it has never dropped anything into my garage floor, not a drop!

It's coming from next where the numbers P3023181 are, that forward corner.

It can also be anything above that gasket (that's the head gasket BTW). This includes:

- front cam plug (black circle thing).
- distributor o-ring.
- VTEC solenoid gasket- valve cover gasket.
- valve cover gromet front or rear.
- cam caps installed without proper Hondabond.

if it's none of those things, then you need to worry about the head gasket (which is a pretty major job).

Thanks man,

I'll try to narrow it down but it's such a tiny amount it's hard to tell. I'll give everything a really good clean and start from there.
