Ive had it leak at the honda bond seal bewteen the oil pump and block.  Ive also had the oring between the oil pump and block go out.  Hard to tell the difference bewteen those and an oil pan leak.  These leaks sort of spray on the alternator and get the whole pan wet on that side.

I was using oil in my rebuilt ZC and it turned out my PCV valve was clogged.   Switched to a catch-can setup and that fixed the issue.

My last d16a1 had great compression across all four cylinders, pulled hard to redline.  Used 12 qts in 3000 miles.  Fricken smokeshow.  I think it was the first d16a1 ever made lol.   Pulled the pistons and the oil rings were collapsed while the other rings looked ok.  Could be related to something like that.  This was obivous though.  My car was like Pigpen with his little cloud following him around.

One of my friends works at a Honda/Acura dealer alternative, he sees that a lot.  He suspects he can carb spray the gunk out of the oil control rings and put everything back together and it'd work fine.

Try it first.  Cheapest fix if it works. Search around here, there tons of info on that.

Lazy way:

Gut the pcv valve, reinstall in manifold, attach hose and run to catch can.  Then run the valve cover breather hose to another port on the can too.  Plug the port on the manifold where the old pcv hose went.  Plug the intake pipe port where the VC hose went.  Hopefully your can has a breather filter on it.

Theres a better way where you keep the pcv valve in tact, but the writeup was on ohmt.  I dont know if it made its way over.

I saw another writeup using the exhuast to draw the pressure out, like old v8 guys do.  Probably the best way but the most cost/labor involved.
