I gotta friggin oil leak somewhere under the intake manifold. I didnt get a good chance to check it out today but I know its not the valve cover and I see no oil ne where. Unless its all cooking up by the time I got to check it out. A few months ago I had to replace the oil cooler which was $350 from honda cuz the snap ring inside snapped somehow but ne one have ne ideas what it could be coming from? thanx in advance.

Seems like an odd place for an oil leak. Things to check are the oil pan gasket and the cam seals. You are going to have to nose around under there and find out. You may need to degrease things first if there's a lot of oil all over everything. Hope that helps.

thanx that definitely helps, i didnt think about the cam seals. It shouldnt be the oilpan gasket, i forgot to mention i changed that not too long ago also. I think it might be going onto my downpipe and cooking up becuase thats wat happened when my oilcooler went bad. Nothing was hitting the ground.

Make sure its not the filter. I have seen many preople that have done an oil change and didnt make sure the filter was on straight, or didnt remove the old gasket...

If it's coming from under the intake manifold, then certainly check the filter first, then check the oil pressure sensor. It is located right next to the filter, threaded into the block, and has an electrical plug connected to it with a rubber boot over it. That thing is notorious for leaking.

Oh, geez I forgot all about the filter. That's the first thing to check, duh.
