Help...Oil leak

I have an oil leak where it's common on the B series motors, under the vtech solenoid down to the block. I've changed the cam seal and the vtech solenoid seal with the filter. But it's steal leaking. What else could be causing this? It's not the valve cover casket, I can't see where it's leaking from.

have you changed the vtec solenoid seal that bolts up to the block only because it could be the seal on the top as well.

i changed both in my coupe, d16z6, and no more oil leaks.

I didn't change the top seal on the solenoid. I only changed the one with the filter which is on the side of the solenoid. It can't be the top one because I can see it all around and there's no leaks. I'm going to do a real good cleaning this afternoon and see if I can see where it's leaking from.

Thx Smokin for correcting my wording
