Ok this has me baffled. I have a 96 ex. Started leaking oil from around the vtec solenoid. I bought a new seal for both the upper part of the solenoid as well as the seal that mates it to the head. This didn't fix it. I then bought a used solenoid and bolted it on .. FIXED.. well for about 4 months, now its leaking again and I can actually clean the area well, drive the car, and reach under the solenoid and wipe off a small amount of oil from under the solenoid. Replaced seal in the already replaced solenoid and still leaking. If the leak is def coming from there could it be a crack in the head? I just don't know what else to replace anymore.

Thanks for any advice!

Well I cleaned it with degreaser... And then after driving it i ran my hand under the vtec solenoid and I get oil. I made sure when I changed the gasket that it was spotless under the solenoid and the oil is def on the bottom again.
