I bought an 89 Si, b16a, s1 tranny, and pr3 ecu. After driving it a couple of weeks I noticed oil on the transmission (passenger side below dizzy). I felt around the vtec solenoid an noticed oil. I replaced the two seals in that and no longer get a leak there, but oil is still coming out. It is right at the head gasket. On the gasket, there are numbers stamped on it, the numbers are on the gasket (passenger side). I was told by someone that my head gasket was on backwards. They said it needed to be turned 180 degrees. Can someone check that for me or is it possible it is something else.

Sorry for the rambling, just didn't want to miss something.

Which seals did you change?

 

So far just the Vtec soleniod filters/gaskets. There were two in there. It was leaking there too. No more leaking there, but there is oil sitting right there on the head gasket. Is there anyway you could look and see which side of your head gasket had the numbers stamped. Mine is on the passenger side. Someone told me it was on backwards.

thanks
