    you might need a new gasket, maybe. You should get it fixed before it gets worst man...

    before you go and blow so much money on a head gasket job, check the distributor o-ring or your valve cover gasket.

    Use something to get the oil off, then check about a week later to find where exactly the leak is.

    Getting the buddy club headgasket sure can bring extra hp, but I would not get it because it raise the compression ratio and if it hits a bad tank of gas, it is not so good... Just my only opinion though. Just make sure what you want to do with the car before you do it.

    yes sir, if you DO in fact have a leaky headgasket i would replace it asap because they do get worse and worse.

    make sure when you clean it off to put that dye in it. A special light will show where its most concentrated.

    Check ur O-Ring on the Distributer and Your Cam seal. Alot of the times it will leak down in the grooves all the way down to where the block and head meet and it stops there because there is a little lip that sticks on on the block..

    you said you have an SI = DOHC VTEC = common cam plug leakage problem...

    replace that first before you dump a lot of money into replacing your headgasket.

    how many miles do you have on that engine btw?

    it could also be just your cam seal they leak down the block, and can look like a headgasket leak, and they always leak, check that, those are easy and cheap to fix....Good luck.....
