is it the second cylinder from the timing belt ? it's not that expensive. you are looking at $45 for the parts and half a day labor on the car if u do it yourself. all the rocker arm assembly is gotta go out to replace the gasket

here is like what you have to go thru

valve cover off

rocker arm assembly off

head without rocker arm assembly

it's a pain in the rear and after all the work you need to redo the valve adjustament

thanx for the help Hondamaniac, but it was the 1st cylinder on the left next to the dist. cap. someone told me that I need to change my valve cover gasket and get some spark plug seals.. What you think sound bout right.

yup it sounds right. but it's the lower gasket that is leaking not the one between the cover and the assembly.
