think this could be the cause? (cam cap)

 

1.5 qts sounds a bit much.

just take the vtec solenoid off and clean down the area. then paste rtv around the cam seal. ghettofix but u will be able to tell whether that is the prob.

 

damn, thats alot of oil leakage.

 

judging by the picture its either the cam plug or the vtec solinoid

 

maybe ur block is jacked.

 

Seems like if you're leaking that much oil, it woulda been all over your tranny. THat just looks like typical slow cam seal leakage. My old CRX used to lose a quart every like 400 miles, i never found out WTF it was. No oil spots in the driveway, only a small, VERY small leak from the valve cover gasket. Sold the car before anything got worse Are there any oil stains under your car?

EDIT: looking closer at the pic, thats a pretty biug leak at the camseal/solonoid area. The cam seal in my DA is leaking too but not as bad as in your pic. If i were you i'd get that fixed soon. If somehow oil gets into the bell housing and to the clutch, youre gonna have some fun

 

my cam seal at one time was all moving and ****, and oil was coming out of it, but nothing like 1.5 quarts in 500 miles. now i have a nice billit STR

maybe you should get a friend to go behind you while driving hard, and see if you see any blue smoke.

how many miles does your engine have?

 

i used to blow blue smoke, but now it's white.... (coolant, right?) which is odd, my coolant is fine.

anyway, my motor is fully built.. .25 overbored, jdm itr pistons, b16 head, skunk2 valvetrain (stage2), etc.. the block was balanced and blueprinted, and all this was done about 30-40k miles ago, the car has 120k on it (94 gsr) im gonna replace the cam seal and see if that helps, but damn... there's just sooo much ****** oil goin places i don't know where

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=735148 there's my thread on my compression/leakdown test, which turned out 170 psi and all under 10% leakdown in every cylinder... weird, huh?

 

getting the cylinder leakage is just half the job of a leakdown test. You have to know where the leakage is occurring at to determine the severity.

For example, my truck has over %20 leakage in the middle cylinders, but runs great and burns no oil. The leakage is occurring at the exhaust valves, which is normal for high mileage cars.

On the other hand, a 6% leakage past the rings is a BIG deal. 6% past the ring would cause a whole lot of oil burning.

sweet, never knew that.. cept when the shop did the leakdown test, they said they couldnt hear where it was leaking down since it's "hard to hear it when it's below 10%"?
