Default TCT or VTEC solenoid gasket please help


Sorry I know I'm beating a dead horse with this one but I just needed some reassurance on it before I ended up buying a new tct for no reason.

I've been having this leak for a while and tried to locate the source before doing anything and I just looked into it after the car sat for 3 days. Cleaned everything off before letting it sit and got these pictures today. Solenoid sensor is always soaked which leads me to believe it's the gasket but it was replaced 3 months ago so I'm at a loss for words. Top gasket is clean as a whistle. Is it possible for the o rings around the tct to leak? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I should also add that I do get no rattle or slapping noise from the tct at.

That must be TCT seal related. You'll have to pull it to inspect.

If OP needs it.



Oil switch O-Ring


Tct orings
Could be both
Odd that even after you replaced your TCT and it's leaking...

wow. Glad you sorted it out easily. I'll pull my VTEC solenoid to check the condition of the gasket. Will probably just replace mine as well
