can anyone help me ... im leaking oil right above the intake manifold right in front of engine, its not coming from the valve cover, it seems to coming right up from the little pockets above the intake manifold forming a pool of oil in the pocket ... could this be a cracked head or something else?? please respond

 

Can't think of anything other than the valvecover gasket. But sometimes the oil stays clean (almost invisible) & doesn't pick up much dirt until it gets down further.

 

the intake manifold is on the back side of engine. So please be specific. Without seeing it I would say Internal Distributor seal as well as the external o ring. It could be a cam seal. Be sure your pcv valve is working properly. Check the pcv hose as well. And dont rule out the v/c gasket. It is also plausable that someone did not put honda bond under the camshaft seal retainer. Honda bond should also be applied to 4 corners of v/c gasket. Clean the area off real good, keep an eye on it, then repost or whatever. Good luck
