You could download the Workshop manual in PDF from http://www.hondacrx.co.uk/

Totally legal too - it's distributed with the blessing of Honda

Oh, I should say that it's the UK 16V manual - the Si should be 95% identical

Show us a pic and well figure it out,

The Gasket is on the side of the Motor by the Crank shaft gear and there is a plastic peace that you have to take off to get gasket out.

Is it the timing belt cover? only plastic bit i can think of that side. Do you have an oil leak or are you just missing a dust shield somewhere?

i have a bad oil leak but the car has been seatin for 3years so ....... but when i checked the oil it seems like there is alot of oil, almost to much.

If the car has been sitting for 3 years you should change the oil before driving it.

Are you sure it's leaking oil - could it be brake fluid or coolant??
