Im assuming you are talking about the cam seal cap located on the left side of the motor infront of the distributor. Its a black plastic cap. I suggest getting a gasket and some RTV sealent on from Honda or autozone, you are looking for a valve cover gasket kit. Since you are newer to cars this way will be easier for you to do and cover your mistakes
1. take off the valve cover the nuts are 10mm
2. take off the gasket and throw it away
3. get a flat head and pry off the plastic cap
4. place new cap in
5. clean the head surface off of oil and silicone
6. place silicone on the corners of the upside down U where the cams meet the head. there should be 8 spots of silicone
7. place gaskets on head, theres one for vc and 4 for spark plugs
8. place on and put groments on the studs
9. use a small socket or wrench to tighten, dont over tighten, you do not need a torque wrench
