I believe that you will need to replace the o-rings that are in the spark plug tubes. As far as I know there is a kit you can buy to do this. I think it comes with o-rings, valve cover gasket, new valve cover retainers, etc. I am having the same problem. There are a couple other posts about this I think. Check them out. They could tell you exactly what you need to do! Good Luck!FSAE(F Series Accord Enthusiasts) "A dying breed..." #15

It's the lower tube seals and it does not come with a valve cover gasket kit, at least not off www.hondaautomotiveparts.com, which is a Honda Dealer. You have to order them separately, but they are cheap.
They are located under the rocker arm assembly & it's not exactly self explanatory....don't attempt it without a manual & some mechanical aptitude. You have to pull valve cover & get into the cylinder head area a bit.
