It might just be carbon and water vaporcondensation that you are seeing, is the engine using a quart of oil a week?
Check the PCV valve in the valve cover?

the pcv is the one sticking out of the top of the valve cover... I don't recall what the test procedures are sorry.... I've cleaned them but never had to replace one.... I'm sure they are cheap even if you had to buy a new one....

I was at the dealer one day, and someone came in with one that did the samething, needed a rebuilt engine, it was about$1800.00 and if done at the dealer they willwarranty the engine. I have a 96 Accord EX-L with 192,000 and just had the selas replaced and the timing belt done.
