98 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder V-Tech Engine?

Recently I had an oil change done on my 98 accord 4 cyl V-Tech engine. It appears some couple months later I have an oil leak. It appears not all the bolts that hold down the valve cover gasket are there? Does anyone know how many bolts hold down the gasket and where they are located? Or is there a web site that might show me a design? Sure looks to me like at least 1 bolt on right side (facing engine) of valve cover gasket is missing. It's threaded and no bolt is there, this is also the side where oil seems to be dripping. Any help is greatly appreciated.98 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder V-Tech Engine?

Looking at the age of your car you may be due to have the head gasket changed. Your best bet is to take it to a Honda dealer and have them look at it.98 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder V-Tech Engine?
Seems like your valve cover gasket, someone probably didnt intsall it correctly and didnt use RTV sealant around the bends. Take it to a shop and have them look at it. Honda will rape you so I would go to someone you know personally that has mechanical experience. It is a easy fix if that what the problem is.98 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder V-Tech Engine?
You should have 6 bolts on the valve cover. The bolts should be torqued to 12-15 ft. lbs. Just make sure that the oil is coming from that spot. Oil can be easily sprayed from other parts of the engine.And it's VTEC not Vtech. Vtech is a phone company lol.



And the age of your car doesnt have anything to do with replacing your headgasket. It's actually fairly new when it comes to Hondas. Unless you beat your car daily or you have run your car without oil and coolant and you threw a rod out of the side of the block then I understand why you would change the headgasket.



I have a 1990 and a 1991 Honda Prelude, I've never had to change the headgasket so far.
