Cam seal issue
 
ok so i started my car up the other day and realized its leaking oil from behind the cam gears so i assumed the cam seal was bust

so i got new ones from honda and proceeded to put them on got em on honda bond put where it was needed and what not put everything back on the car and...........its still leaking

after looking again im seeing that everytime i put the cap on where the seals go the seal keeps popping out of where it should be sitting? so now im wondering wtf is going on is the seal not in far enough? or am i doing something wrong?

also theres oil where my spark plugs are how the hell did it get in there? lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but the cam seal is on the other side of the motor isn't it? Cam seal is the round plug by the distributor that plugs the end of exhaust cam.

The oil on the plugs is caused by the round seals under the valve cover.

Make sure that oil is not coming from between head-valve cover by the cam gears. That could be the problem that you are seeing.

yeah theres that one iunno what the other one on the cam is called cause its a seal also lol

the oil is pissing down on the side as the cam gears like i fixed ti and when i tighten the thing down it pops out of place and when it is in place you start the car and it finds its way back out again......its getting on my nerves im having an oil party in my garage

Like Martin stated above, if its in your spark plugs get a valve cover gaskets including the round seals where the spark plugs go, i just did that in my accord and that was the problem.
