coming from the passenger side, looks like its coming from the head gasket, i bought a special head gasket had it re sealed 3 times, have arp head studs re tourqed them 3 times, had a machine shop check the head and block levels and they said it looks fine

How was the VTEC oil feed passage sealed? Plugged? Welded? It was plugged, right?

Are you sure the valve cover gasket and cam seals are good?

Step one is always to completely clean the area and wait to see where oil starts coming out again.

McCoy: This thread is almost two years old. Please don't dig up dead threads as the problem was probably fixed long ago.
