Noticed a very small amount of leaking on the bottom side of the OEM TCT where it meets the engine block. No leaking anywhere else but ended up replacing all gaskets just in case. All OEM gasket with of course the exception of the top VTEC solenoid gasket, which I used the Kraken brand one. Oil sensor was also replaced with OEM.

Followed DIYguys tutorial on the TCT and the VTEC solenoids and torqued everything to spec.

The same are is still leaking a little… see the picture for reference.

Could this be a bad TCT? Car drives great and engine runs great otherwise.

 

Whose TCT is this? (I can't see that surface on mine without removing things.)

Sorry, the this is the stock TCT. Just edited.

 

The OEM TCT is a known failure point. Billman's replacement TCT is seemingly bulletproof and you'll be better off with anyway so I'd try that.

The OEM TCT is not a strong team player. Billman makes a terrific TCT that is better than the original. I put his in around 35K miles years ago and have never looked back. Don't even look at Ballade or something else.
