First Integra, Help with Oil Leak

[raider89]

96 Integra GSR with 175k

Heres a picture of my oil leak

Is it possible that its the solenoid gasket?

Cam seal was already replaced, i do notice a lot of oil around it but I cant see it flowing all the way down to the head gasket corner as seen in picture.

I heard that is a common hg leak spot and some put honda bond there and it fixes it?

I have no white smoke no oil/coolant mixing and no overheating.

VTEC solenoid gasket, replace both of then while you're at it.

if its that corner, it typically leaks. retorque the head.

That is a common corner for leaking? Does that mean oils just leaking and its not causing any coolant/oil mix?

I don't have any time to be able to re torque the head bolts anytime this week, will it be okay for the time b eing?

Dizzy o ring

Personally I'd get new vtec solenoid gaskets and dizzy o-ring like they said, clean it, and if there's still oil coming out then it's at the head gasket

Clean it spotless and then see exactly where it's coming from.

Am I the only one here who would clean it off and find the leak before randomly changing gaskets?

if theres no oil coming from above...its the corner thats leaking which is suuuuuuuuuuper common.

So if it is leaking there is that a big issue and im just having a oil leak and no coolant mixing and its not a blown hg

it just leaks there. retorque the head. Im not sure what causes it. Mine stopped after i got tuned.
