Default vtec no longer working

I have a b16 in a crx. yesterday Vtec completely stopped working.
seems to be a small amount of oil leaking from around the vtec solinoid, but I dont think this would be the cause. any ideas what should I check?

thanks

might have had a drop in oil pressure for some reason and that would cause it to stop working if sencins low oil pressure...
Glad to hear it's back to norm...

if your oil was leaking it would not work because vtec has to see a certian oil pressure to work. find the leak and fix it then you shouldnt have any problems also if your screen is cloged that would do it too
good luck
