Post Oil Leak

Cleaned the engine. Drove her. Hit 6000 RPM. Got home and opened the hood
and saw this? Does an inexpensive Vtec gasket kit look like it will solve my problem?

So when they start leaking again 2-3 years down the road you don't have to wait for the next set to arrive.

Is it possible those are just dipstick drips? Did you check oil before or after the drive?

I would think if gasket was leaking that much you'd have a bunch of nasty gunk built up from stuff sticking to greasy spot.

Bruv, did you read the first post and look at the photos?

Those photos to you don't look like old, dried on, oil soaked dirt?

On my phone, no, doesn't look like old, greasy grime. Looks like a fresh drip of oil that just happened.
