Default Head gasket....

My B16A crx just started leaking alot of oil from where the head meets the block does that mean my head gasket is gone?

Where is the oil coming from (which side?)

Most likely it's the cam sealthats causing your oil leak.

No it's not the cam seals. That's the first thing that I checked. It's where the head meets the block, does that mean that the head gasket is out or does that mean I have to resurface the head?

it is moste likely the gasket, or the head isnt tightend on enoughf. turn the engine over a couple of times and take out each spark plug one at a time and look for coolant on the plug. If there is coolent you have a blown head gasket.

but to be on the safe side carefully remove the head and take it to a machine shop to have it checked. big project im in the process of it now.

I changed all the valve cover seal and the seals for the spark plug wells and then drove it about 350 miles this weekend and I haven't had one hint of oil in the spark plug wells or coming from underneath the valve cover.
