Keep in mind that there is another o-ring in this general area that commonly leaks: the ‘Figure 8’ o-ring between the oil pump and engine block. This o-ring is significantly harder to replace than the VTEC solenoid o-ring (it requires removal of the crank pulley, oil pan, and timing belt). Replacement of this o-ring also requires replacement of the VTEC solenoid o-ring since the VTEC solenoid/oil filter holder must be removed to get the oil pump off. So before replacing ONLY the VTEC solenoid o-ring, confirm that this (or one or both of the o-rings on the VTEC solenoid/oil filter holder itself) is indeed the ONLY source of your leak. Otherwise, you will be replacing the VTEC solenoid o-ring twice.

May be this is too late a question, but ..., What is the symptom of the 'Figure 8’ o-ring related leaking? It seems my Ody has one. There is leakage down the VTEC solenoid area, but seems there is no leakage immediately behind the solenoid.

You know the best part of your videos that I like, besides the accurate and good procedures, is that there is no unnecessary talk and subscribe to my blah blah in the beginning, you just go straight to the point! Thank you man!

Some of the best auto mechanic camera work I've ever seen. I could see everything you were doing. Fantastic .

Thanks for this video so much! My 03 Odyssey was leaking oil on this side and I seen this video today so I went out and got a vtec solenoid gasket and just replaced it and problem solved 👍

I liked the fact that you didn’t unscrew the oil filter from the VTEC solenoid assembly which other KZread videos do. This prevents some mess.

Thank you I stripped one top bolt. But I got the gasket and put everything back together. I watched your video the night before but I put a whole new suspension on it and wheel bearing. Thank you so much for your videos.

From Houston TX. On May 28/2020 My Honda Accord 2002, to be problem leaking oil as the same ways like that, I drive my car to work and in three day I must refill with two quarters of oil. After I got your v/clip, I have gone buying the gasket the cost is $ 21.43 and then I fixed. My car good now. Very thank you so much Sir. Your video clip techniques is usefully for everyone. And are you happy Sir ? when you do something useful for the people....👍

I knw this vid came out 5 years almost six but thank brother you made it simple and did a great job going through progression on solving this headache peace brother

Amazing video, congrats. Straight to the point and well edited. No wording necessary, but that little text helped! Will buy stuff from your store. Thanks for sharing with the world your valuable knowledge.

Excellent, That is where ours is leaking. Great video! Thanks

The part showing how to disconnect the solenoid valve connector is worth many thanks, that connector is very difficult to see and get to in the 7th Gen Accord, even though I have encountered the same connector when I changed the oxygen sensors in the summer, not sure I would have remembered all the details, I would have had a hard time figuring it out without seeing how it's done in your video. Great job!!

I am changing that gasket and I have been trying to remove that connector for 2 hours and with this video I learned YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS😅

I love that you even show the torque specification. Good job.

Thumbs up!..Love the video..you went straight to work ..no talkng except asking your daughter how was her day..lol

I liked the way cleaned the engine in your driveway. Your driveway , garage, and tools look clean . Great job! Esta chetlu

VERY helpful video, Angel. The way you start the camera view from outside the car and zoom in is helpful to understanding where things are. The only thing is that I was hoping you'd be changing the oil pan gasket. ;-)

This is what I saw soaked on my tL thanks! Cold starts it literally drips a small puddle.

I wish I could be so lucky! You washed the engine, ran it for a few minutes and the leak presented itself. What a perfect world........ On another note, I would have pressure washed the engine in the street at the end of my driveway, not on the driveway, possibly getting more oil on it... Great video by the way.

Thanks for making the video. My 01 MDX sprung the very same leak and I thought that might be the end of her. $15 and an hour later all is well.

me too.... and the dealer said oil pump reseal job is over $1,000 I said forget it until 200kMi timing belt. Now I see it's a 10mn job with $15 seal ✌️

If your VTEC solenoid gasket is bad, consider getting the Altrom gasket from Napa rather than going to Honda. It’s about $13 cheaper. It’s made in Japan. And it comes in a bag that is labeled ‘Keihin’. When you do this job, you will probably notice that Keihin also manufactures the oil filter/VTEC solenoid holder that this gasket seals. Keihin is, in fact, a MAJOR supplier for Honda. It would appear that the Napa Altrom gasket is indeed an OEM Honda part, but for little more than half the price.
