Default cam seal or distributor seal

hi i noticed an oil leak on my b18c gsr i can see it by the vtec slolenoid,distributor by the tranny side,this happened to me 2 years ago but it was the cam seal and i already replaced it 2 years ago also,but now it's happening again,i'm not a mechanic so i can just guess right,and i also changed my distributor about 3 weeks ago and i know that theres a seal there too,that's why ineed help from you guys what could it be,coz cam seals i can always get it to the dealer but distributor oil seals can't find it nowhere i guessdyou have to buy the whole distributor,but what do you guys think i know b series motors are known for leaking cam seals but like i said i just changed it 2 years ago,please help thank you

The part number for the distributor o-ring is: 30110-PA1-732. The dealership should carry them in stock as they need to be replaced every so often.

Is there any possibility it is leaking from the vtec solenoid? There is a gasket in there too that may need replacement.

thanks for your reply,i'm not sure about the vtec solenoid i hope it's not that,i just replaced the distributor not too long ago prolly around 2 weeks ago and it comes with a brand new o ring and like i said i also changed the cam seal 2 years ago coz it did leaked before,coz i have to do this tomorrow coz i'm going to pennsylvania this tuesday and it's like 4 hour drive from here,so what would you do if you were me,would you change the cam seal and dizzy o ring at the same time? i already said earlier o ring is brand new and cam seal is only 2 years old and i don't drive my car hard but once in a while i hit vtec

the leak is good enough to notice it,just an update i bought a dizzy o ring and a cam seal frrom the dealer and i ask my mechanic to change it for me,and he told me that i got multiple leaks the dizzy o ring,cam seal and the vtec solenoid seal all at the same time(what are the oods),but he put a silicone on the vtec solenoid so i'll see how it's gonna work coz i'm gonna go to pittsburgh soon......but i just ordered a vtec solenoid seal today and i'm getting it tomorrow morning and i'm gonna get it installed to my mechanic too,hope this fix it for good,thanks for your reply and i'll keep you updated
