Black thing is a cam plug(most likely cause of your oil leak). I don't remember seeing bolt holes like that on mine.

Edit: those 2 holes are on a b18a head. I am still unsure what they bolt to.

Yeah p30 clearly on plug. Does leak a little, can't find anywhere what's supposed to b there. Figured might b culprit of idle issues too

Yeah it's cam plug. Where locally can I get one? I'm gonna check timing tomorrow too

Well you can get another one from Honda, but it will leak again, but there are many aftermarket metal ones. I had one from az race machine that worked well. I don't know if they are still around.

I read those leak sometimes. And some people just seal it up. I am wanting to get it done tomorrow.

They use that stamp on a lot of b series parts, they're interchangeable.

Thats a cam seal. They go bad. Replace it.
