Default Mysterious Oil Leak

94 EX 2.2L Vtec - About three months ago I replaced my head gasket timming belts and overhauled thecylinder head. When checking my oila couple of weeks agoI found it very low. I traced the leak to the VTEC Solenoid gasket and replaced it. I added a little over a quart or oil and also added flouresent dye to ck it agian later.

I checked my oil today and found it low agian, no signs of leaking on my driveway or usual parking spots. I put the car on a lift and checked with a black light. I see dye around the bell housing but it seems to be coming from up top near the gasket i just replaced.

Thanks in advance for the help.

-Greg

Did you use gasket sealer? It's hardly mysterious if you caused the leak ..... you know exactly where to look!!!
