Default Oil leaking from vtec solenoid?

i just bought this hatch with a gsr swap, and it seems like it runs fine, a little rich maybe, and it takes a while to warm up, but im going to try replacing the o2 sensor and thermostat and see if that helps.

the previous owner who sold it to me said it leaks a tiny amount of oil out of the vtec solenoid, and im wondering what this means, is it just a gasket i need to replace, and if so how hard is it to replace? is it something more complex? sorry, im somewhat new to this honda thing.

Most stuff like that you can only order from Honda. Like a throttle body gasket...nowhere carries them...it's retarded.
