    Default vtec solenoid leak

    Ok guy's i have a leak and its running around the solenoid and making a mess.What can i do to fix it because i will have to buy a new 1 if i can't just seal this 1 up like can i take it off and make a gasket or put some sealer on it and put it back on?
    I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
    I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.

    x2. replace both of em.. theres one with a screen where it bolts to the head, and one circular one at the top if you remove those 3 bolts off the top. if you remove the 3 bolts BE CAREFUL, that little solenoid in there is spring loaded and if you lose any peices you are fuked.
