Alright well this leak has been going on for a long time now and I still don't know where its coming from. All the oil leaks from the top of the tranny to the bottom. I swear the whole tranny is covered with oil. Its like coming from the bottom of the distributor ? Help?

check the dizzy seal, and the vtec sol. gaskets, mine leaked fron the sol and would run all down the trans.

AutoZone only carries the dizzy o ring. I used to manage one. The seal inside the dizzy for the shaft you can find online. Replace both and your golden.

So replace the O ring and the seal inside dizzy shaft and I'm good ?:) what about the VTEC Sol? ]

It wouldn't hurt. I'd do the dizzy first and see if that stops the leak.

you might as well change the dizzy gasket, o ring and the vtec sol. I mean, when did you changed these before, if you don't remember or just got the car, might as well.

Clean the engine off and isolate where the leak is coming from. Shouldn't be that hard to see. No need to re-seal everything on that side of the engine for no reason

I gave a pic of the gasket part number from felpro I got at O'Reilly and added it written. Hope that helps and check the vtec solenoid.
