My g-friend's 95 2.3 dohc prelude oil leak.
I don't know shit about Hondas and hers is leaking like a bitch. It seems to be leaking up high somewhere. I saw oil pooling on top of the block on the drivers side rear of the motor so I changed the valve cover gasket and it seems to keep coming back. I heard the cam seals like to leak or maybe it's the head gasket. Got any suggestions for me, or Anyone good with Hondas on the peninsula want some side work or wants to give me a hand with it let me know.
Thanks
Thanks

Is it over-heating? Is it running normal? Coolant-oil mixing? Do a compression test and if it's anywhere near low it can be sign's of a head gasket leak. If you have the access to this..Get a Ultra-Violet (U/V light) get some oil dye, put the oil dye in her car, let her drive it for a little bit, Usually takes a hundred miles or so and then check for any signs of the oil Dye with the U/V light and it will let you know where it is coming from.

It isn't over heating and seems to run fine. Just leaking quite a bit of oil and right over top the exhaust of course to create quite a smoke show. I've had plenty of experience with bad head gaskets on all the Fords I've owned and don't think that's what this is, but really don't know how many other things it could be leaking down onto the top of the block.

Well, Best advice, take a pic and we will go from there!
