    yeah i just have finally decided to tackle the oil leak... thats really the only reason all these problems have come along

    1) oil in the intake so i cleaned and i think it sprayed water on my tranny (hence the milkyness i think)

    2) took my v-tec solenoid off to see how bad the gasket was and when i put it back on (have to wait for the new one to come in the mail) i think i broke the already fragile seal it had so now it leaks even more.

    3) tried to take the valve cover off to clean it so i could trace the oil leaking into the spark plug channel and now i cant tighten or loosen one corner.

    4) oil leaks are the devil.

    but i really need to figure out this stripped valve cover bolt. oh the little washers with the plastic on the bottom are actually metal washers attached to a rubber seal and they leak like a ***** if you dont tighten em down real good, shugg... but im sure you know that hahahaha

    the nut circled below is the one i cant get off... (not my motor)
