I have a oil leak that i can't seem to get to
i have changed the o ring on the distributor, the vtec solenoid gaskets and yet i still have the same leak here are some photos for reference. Just asking for help cause I have had this leak for months and can't seem to find it.
It seems to be leaking from under the Vtec solenoid i can feel the oil underneath it.

Clean ALL the oil and crud off the engine, put a locating dye in, use a UV light to find EXACTLY where the leak is coming from. Not something we can really help you with, to be completely honest.

Check if its coming from the bolts that hold the solenoid or your valve cover gasket mines usedto leak but never could pin point it were but under the dizzy was always oiley , but i knew i had two valve cover bolts that striped inside so i did heli coil and new gasket bushing for the bolts problem solved.

From inside the distributor?
I know you change the outside dizzy oring, but sometimes the oil comes from the inside of the dizzy, from it's shaft seal to be more accurate
