I have a 01 with a Vortech and lately I have been seeing oil spots from where I park. Today I decided to put it on a lift and discovered oil leaking from a silver braided line near the blower. The VTEC is not kicking in when it is supposed to and hesitates when I step on it. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

 

if i'm not mistaken, vtec is dependent on oil pressure so checking the level would be first on my list (to prevent anything else from going wrong). But I believe there are some s/c'd folks here that have experience with the oil leaks...

 

The pressure reads the same when accelerating but it's not pinning me back in my seat. I had the oil changed while it was on the lift but it is still leaking

 

a quick search shows the O-turn (a community organizer here in mid-a) had a slow oil leak from the vortech, but the thread never showed any definite resolution.
