    It's a bad thing, which most people would not tackle themselves.

    Is there no kind of sealant or anything I can use to seal it for awhile to stop the oil from coming threw ?

    It sounds like coolant is getting into the oil, such as from a blown head gasket. This is also bad. Did the engine ever overheat?

    It only takes once on an aluminum head engine. You need to get the engine tested. I helped a neighbor a month ago repair the engine to her Civic which overheated and blew the head gasket. A local shop wanted $3,200, which she could not afford. I worked for free. There is a lot to it.

    I done replace the head one time before like a year ago but I heard its not good to fix the head twice so is it best I get a new used motor or try and fix it

    A good machine shop will always replace the valve seals and valve guides, when they machine the head. I would get a qualified Honda mechanic to evaluate the situation and confirm exactly what is wrong. I'm inclined to always try and fix it.

    Ok I found out my head is not blown we drain the oil to check for mixture of coolant and there wasn't at all I also got my timing set it was running good until today it wouldn't crank right up again it was very hard to get it started and when I did I drove it to the part store we pulled the plugs and they where burnt again we looked in a Honda book and matched the plugs up with the Ones in the book and found out its carbon deposits witch is causing the car to misfire do you know anything about that ?
