Is it from the VTEC solenoid? The gasket between the solenoid and head can blow and cause a major oil leak.

There's only one oil feed through the head gasket, the passage in the back center. There should be a metal ring in the gasket around it. I don't think it is possible to put the head gasket on the wrong way, nothing would line up.

Pics would help sir. Is oil IN the intake or just leaking from around it? Is your pcv valve in good shape?
