Default V-tech solenoid leak

The V-tech solenoid on my '96 Accord is leaking oil upon start up and down the road. Before I tear into it, can anyone give me some info on what I'll find inside. O-ring, gasket, etc.?
Thanks,
Trinket

The solenoid is just an atatched to the head with an o-ring. And a few 10mm bolts. Shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

You need to do some research on your own engine before you start messing with anything.

Hey, I have a question, WHAT THE SHIT IS "V-tech"?????? Your talking about your car so you must mean your VTEC solenoid is leaking.

Its VTEC not V-tech!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default problem fixed

Your're right, it is VTEC, but don't blow a gasket over it. Getting the solenoid off was the hardest part, not much room in there to get to the three 10 mm bolts that hold the solenoid to the block. But there is a $12 0-ring in there that was worn out. New 0-ring installed and the VTEC solenoid leaks no more.
