Head gasket oil leak

[gt-bal]

Hi guys. Not having much luck so far maybe this time. Lol. I have a small oil leak for a while now. It's coming from the head gasket or cover. It does not leak much just over time there is bit of a mess under the engine and onto the starter. Usual just clean it up every few months but think it time to sort it out. I have a mivic and she in good nick. I was lead to believe the mivic engine does not have a gasket seal on the head only like a heat rubber silicone seal. Is this correct Has anyone else had this prob and how was it solved. Thanks.

Not sure.

It could be a worn rocker cover gasket, common issue - its a cheap and relatively easy replacement:

It could, however, be a cam seal leak - a common issue on the MIVEC engines and a a labour intensive job to fix. First try and identify the source of the leak and come back.

I have this problem for years now, Paul Nolan won't quote me to fix it It annoys me that it wrecks the engine bay but doesn't affect the car so it's coming from the half moon seals - just drive it on.

That gasket is for a GR/GX. OP has a GPX.

Have the same problem with oil leaking from under the half moon seals, will be lifting off the cam tray to get this sorted, pain in the ar$e generally as the timing belt has to be of, but can be done in a few good hours.
