Oil leak please please help me

[graver93]

Hello everyone,
I bought a 91 acura integra RS 1.8L DOHC non v-tec last week and only after the deal was made i realized that the motor is leaking, so i cleaned up the sludge to try and see where it was leaking and found that there was oil piling up along the head gasket seam but im not sure if its leaking there or somwhere else, so can someone tell me the most likely places it would be leaking and is there some way i can find it without spending the money on a mechanic i will try and post pictures

My first thing to check would be the cam seal. Also it wouldn't hurt to change your valve cover gasket and plug seals.

Check out this DIY for help. No mechanic needed on this one.

There is a black light activated dye that u put in oil to see where its comin from or clean it good and put foot/baby powered then run it black lines will push thru and show where leaks are

cam cap, valve cover gasket or distributor o ring, all are prime palaces. or its the "normal leak" from the front left corner of the motor.
