Default b16 ef oil leak

Im just curious anybody else ever have a problem with a oil leak right at the head gasket? on the left hand side, were u can actually see a little bit of the headgasket cause I got a oil leak right there and it drips down the front of my block just curious if anybody else had this problem.


Shop that did my swap is replacing my headgasket so Im not worried.

I have the same problem. I think its the vtec solenoid gasket but I haven't got around to changing it yet because it barely leaks on mine.

I think its headgasket, cause my car is slow, hopefully I havnt warped my head cause I have had the oil leak sice it came out the shop and Ive driven the car for I would say 3500 miles since the swap and there gonna fix it monday, so I pray that I didnot warp the head..... and I have never overheated, my motor stays cool its always right before the half way point on temp sensor....

My camseal, right behind the distributor leaks oil. I plan to change it soon, but i haven't gotten around that yet. I heard alot of b-series leak from this camseal.

Mine also leaks from the head gasket right under the v-tech silenoid. After a few 1000 miles, oil builds up and makes the bottom block look really dirty. My friend with a GSR swapped into his EG also has that leak. It might have something to do with the motors sitting out for a while....

i tiny amount of oil has come from the right side of my engine on both of my b16s a minor amount is normal(not dripping) also check the cam cap and the vtec sol. both of those could be leak areas.

rubber cam seals are junk, get an aluminum one. and that oil leak is either from the cam seal of from the vtec solenoid. if it were to come straight from the head it would mean that your headbolts are loose.
