I got a slight oil leak i think? im alittle low on oil.... but the zc burns off a bit so no big deal.
i'm not low on coolant at all, so the head gasket is still good.
so where is this oil coming from.
btw - these pics are after no cleaning under the hood for prolly a good 4-5 months.... opps.... i've been uber buisy lol

it's nothing to worry about, it's the HG but all hondas do that unless you put a little hondabond 4 on there when your building the motor, you could take off your dizzy and look to see if the little rubber O-Ring is bad and the same on the TDC sensor (dizzy is attached to the intake cam, TDC sensor is attached to the exhaust cam). If all else fails and you cant figure it out, pick up a book for a 88-89 Integra
Its probably a rotted dizzy O-ring. Take your dizzy off and you will see an O-ring a couple of mm's from the foot that connects to the cam. If this is all dry rotted...replace it. And if this isnt it check your cam seals.

Did you check to see if your dizzy is torque down tight? I remember having a leak like that and found out that my dizzy bolts weren't even tightened at all, just all. And forgot to use hondabond when I did the valve cover also.
my hf leaked oil out of the dizzy.Not at the o ring but where the wires go into the dizzy. Clean the bottom of the dizzy. then take it for a ride . then check the wires for oil.
