Hi guys.

Noticed yesterday when i moved the lude... i have a leak

Is there any common leak points on a H22A5 engine at all ?

From the top the engine is really clean. Going to jack it up soon and check under the bay see if i can see where its leaking from.

balance shaft seal, vtec soleniod, cam caps, rocker cover, oil filter, sump gasket all the usual suspects

Ha. Im now buying a new oil filter. the one on the car has only done like, 1500 miles but im changing it for a blueprint one with some mobil 1 5-40 fully synthetic oil soon. Hopefully its just the filter weeping.

It could be the oil cooler O-ring, they are known to perish. Its on the back of the block where your oil filter is.
