Default Serious Oil leak

I have a serious oil leak on my car,

and i think it is from the vtec solenoid.

Between the Soleniond and sc bracket mount, and also between the mount and engine.

Has anyone had similar problem?

how can i make it not leak from the solenoid..?

Check the Vtec solenoid bolts and the oil line to the supercharger. Many Vortech users have broken the bolts. I ended up replacing the Vortech bolts with titanium:

I had the same problem... this is what you have to do. Loosen all the bolts then tighten them in the exact order stated in the vortech manual. If you do not follow the directions the vtec block will not sit properly against the head. And as sidways said get the titanium bolts, they don't cost much and its easier than trying to get a broken bolt out of your head because it is bound to happen with the supplied vortech extended bolts.

Specialty houses. Check under titanium fasteners.

Several of us used stainless steel units until the titanium arrived.
