Yeah so noticed i was dripping oil here and there and couldn't find anything under the car. I traced the oil dripage to the solenoid. does anyone know why it could possibly be leaking? I also posted in the teg section

Just replace the gasket, they tend to dry out and fail matt.

I usually put a small amount of hondabond on the gasket (like super thin layer) and they seem to last a bit longer.
