most likely you are leaking gas from your injectors so you mite wanna fix it before driving around and your engine mite catch fire. hvae someone turn the engine on and check round the injectors to see if its leaking. hope that helps

If the rubber o-rings were dry rotted or old, you may have pinched or cracked one. They're probably leaking somewhere though.

" where are the "O" rings located " .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................................sounds like this is the problem you may not have replaces the "O" rings with new ones. go get some and put them in My repair manual reads .............. quote" you must replace the fuel injector sealing "O" ring anytime the injector is removed" end quote

hope this helps finding the "O"rings, and sealing rings

it wasn't that bad of a mess, i just smelled really bad.
OH YEAH.....i sear i put the oil cap on because when i did the compression test the other night i never took it off!
also the night before that i poped the hood to check everything and the cap WAS STILL THERE?

maybe it wasn't tight enough.... but how the **** is it suppose uncrew itself and come off!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------
oh well it fixed now... to bad i have to use my new JDM ITR oil cap that I've been saving in the box for my civic setup...heheh
