I have a d16z6 with a oil leak. I havent got a chance to look real good but i know its not coming from the valve cover its lower. It only leaks when i drive it im kinda thinking its the rear main seal.

check where the vtec solenoid mounts to the head. Or it could be the head gasket itself.

the rear main seal will drip from the dust cover between the motor and tranny. look there for drips.
