Hey,
(i've got a 95 integra vti-r 128,000ks)
I noticed some oil leaking from the head gasket am I in trouble.
Car still runs good just wondering what to do.

Should i not worry untill it's completely fu#ked. and could this possibly do more damage to other parts?

How much would it roughy cost to get the head gasket replaced?
How much dose it cost to get the whole engine rebuilt?

Any advice would be appricated

The part is notorious on Bseries to leak, your motor should be fine. Although it should seal properly after a certain kms, has your engine had a new head gasket?

the leak could be from ur vtec solonoid gasket or the cam shaft bung

use degreaser to clean up the area around the block and gearbox. After, take it for a drive and see where the leak it coming from (mite take a couple of days before it starts to leak)

Cant be head gasket, either camshaft seals or vtec solonoid

Yeh I got my car fully checked out for leaks, used new gaskets, sealant and that white stuff that expands and blocks leaks, didnt leak for about 3 months then started to leak in that spot shown by the OP in the pic, its just old B series characteristics, cant do anything about it, shouldnt cause any probs unless your oil runs low after 1 week or so
