Default small oil leak

i have a b16 in my teg, and i am getting a little bit of an oil leak and im not sure where it is leaking from. the oil looks like it is comming from between the head and the block under the vtec selinoid but im not sure it also may be driping from somewhere. if anyone else has had this problem and might have some advice to where it might be comming from i would like the help

id bet its the cam seal. those bitches go bad all the time. right behind the vtec selenoid there should be a black round 'plug'. look towards the bottom side to see if its leaking. Honda made a revised version of their cam seal with a little rubber o ring.... it replaces the old style and works well.

Not to be super technical but the proper name is the cam end plug. The cam seal(s) are on the timing belt side of the motor.

A new seal is like $10, quit being cheap. Or just stop by and we will figure it out.
