    valve cover gasket.

    also check pcv system to see if its funtioning properly.
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

        Wrong, a leak there would soil the part of the head above the cylinder ID stamp*. * E.g. AADD.

        'accordztech' your camshaft seal (pulley side) is leaking. Do both sides (distributor and pulley sides) at the same time if the distributor o-ring has not been changed.

          i get that leak on all my motors, both oil and coolant.

          this is on a decked block, machined head, MLS head gasket and ARP head studs.

          my last motor was brand new from honda and it leaked there. what Im trying to say here is i kinda dealt with it. It's kind of like the front timing cover leaks.
          I <3 G60.

          0.5mm Oversized Stainless valves and bronze guides available. Pm me please.

            Head gasket just went through it people were telling me valve cover and cam seal. When I had a leak in the same place and saw were it was coming from it was puking oil every time I reved the motor from the throttle body. Fix it or this could happen. I found out the hard way

                I understand what you are saying, I had both issues, after i changed the o ring and the cam seal, it still was there until i changed the valve cover gasket, put sealant and put a new pcv valve (clogged and backed up everything).

                Ever since then no leak there.
