Oil Leak underneath intake manifold Help

I found oil leak underneath intake manifold on passenger side but I am not sure if gasket is bad or pcv bad or rear main seal. I replaced dizzy o ring.
Currently, I experience bad fuel milege, engine vibration and fuel leak from injector o rings.

Any one help me?

Thanks

    :arrow: Replace o-rings could be fire hazard.If it drips down to alt. BOOM! :!: The orings are old &/or being eaten by the added alcohol in our gasoline.
    Oil leak 's probably from head gasket.Not a prob unless it's a lot.What I've heard peeps do is to clean it up & silicone it.An idea I had is to silicone it.Let it dry & retorque the heads when I do a valve adjustment.
    Did you scrape the white corrosion off the dizzy cap points?This causes lite vibration probs.

    Distributor cap. have you looked to see it you pcv box is the source of your leak? It's the little black box on the back of the block that your pcv valve plugs into.

    You can get a kit to replace the injector seals (there are 3 per injector). It's about 10$ for the kit (sometimes it has 4 pieces, but it will be obvious which 3 are right for you type of injector. If one is leaking, you might as well do all 4 since they're all old and brittle. Streams of gas spewing into you engine compartment is the last think you want and they are right over the alternator which is sparking and making electrons fly about = Honda blow-up. For 3 bucks, when you have the fuel rail up and all the wires out of your way, replace your PCV valve while you're at it; if your car isn't running great, it won't be lasting long anyway.
