Oil leak from Vortech VTEC solenoid bracket area...
So I kept seeing a pool of oil on the subframe even after I would clean it off with a pressure washer(garden variety) and simple green. There is no oil on the pavement where I park my car at night so that tells me the oil isn't leaking while it's sitting. I though it was the oil filt at first but after an oil change, now the filter has oil on top of it. Here are some pics. I'm in the process of ordering new vtec solenoid gaskets and the extended titanium bolts to use in the vtec solenoid bracket. Any and all help is appreciated.








**UPDATE**
I just came back from a long trip and was checking the oil regularly. I went down about a quart, maybe a bit more to and from the drive. As I was checking the oil right now at home I noticed oil that had spilled down the front of the supercharger bracket. There is no way for the vtec solenoid bracket to spray that far forward. Could my seals be bad already? I just had the supercharger rebuilt before the install. I've got about 3700 miles since the install. Here are some new pics, excuse some of the blurry ones. Again, appreciate all the help...







And this is the amount of oil I'm losing...

I considered that but it seems to be only a small amount of residue on the top side of the vtec bracket and front of the engine. It appears to be dust that got mixed into oil and began drying. All the "heavy" oil flow is right underneath the vtec solenoid.
The supercharged itself is relatively new. I had them do a full rebuild including a new impeller prior to it being installed on my car. That was approximately 3000 miles ago. I really hope the blower hasn't gone that quickly. I did not see any oil on the belt or back of the blower unit.

It may not the blower. I am having this same exact problem right now. Most likely your vtec assembly gaskets. I have a crack in my base solenoid gasket(Right under the triangle shaped piece with 3 bolts on top)

I'm having a really hard time finding that gasket right now(And no it's not part #36172-P08-015).
Or it can me your larger main gasket with the screen
Part #15825-P13-005
Let your engine cool and see whats going on in there.
