Default oil coming out where trani and block bolt up?

well yesterday i changed to synethitic oil and now every time i check my engine there is oil all over where the block code is, i wipe it off and it comes right back after next time i drive.

what i need to know can oil come out where the trani and block meet?? because if its not there its gota be coming from my head gasket and driping down the crack and collecting where the code is.

any help would be great

a great way to find out where the leak ins coming from is to get an additive for your oil that reacts to UV light, the shine a uv light on the block and you'll see exactly where its coming from. You can get this reltively cheaply at autozone i believe. I doubt its the mating of your tranny and block as no oil goes through that junction, Its most likely dripping from your head gasket. I've heard some people claim its normal for a tiny bit of oil to appear there after an extended period of time but it shouldnt be a significant amount.

when i filled the oil up it was a tinny bit over full. could the extra pressure from the extra oil caused it to start leaking? its not a big enough ammount to nottice a diffrence on the dip stick. just enough that i can see it and whipe it off. drive a little and its back. it never did this before im wondering if maby the synethic oil is to blame.

Exhaust cam seal just behind the VTEC solenoid. Most likely cause.

i just checked that and is seems to be fine no oil at all around the cam seal. i can feel the oil all around the left side of the head right ontop of the block. it seems to be kinda a slow leak or something
