if its where your saying its from, then you do have a blown headgasket...you can also try the valve cover gasket too...alot eaiser to change
you might as well purchase a gasket kit to replace 'em all.

Yes, it can cause white smoke. Check for oil in your coolant as well. Do you have a leakdown tester? Sometimes you can localize the leak with that.
As the others said, if you're up to it, get the Honda gasket kit and do the work. If I remember correctly, it was $270 or something.

Re: oil leaking between head and block! (allmotorcivic)
now i just took off my headers and the exhaust port seem to be oily. is this cause by the blown head gasket? or is it bad valve seals?

Re: oil leaking between head and block! (allmotorcivic)
how oily is it?? the connections should hav a light oil on them.. that's normal~ and the insides of the headers could have a light oil as well~
if there is oil on the outsides of the headers then that's abnormal~
from what you've been saying.. it sounds like a bad head gasket~ is there white smoke coming out of your tail pipe?? that COULD be it.. that's what i'm guessing~
as for the "bad oil pin" iono wtf that means~
