Sup guys, have a few problems with the S unfortunately.

1st thing I have a oil leak, and narrowed it down to the vtec solonoid gasket, so I'll have to replace that.

But now I'm noticing ever so slightly decreasing coolant in the external reservoir. To add to that, whitish smoke emits from my exhaust, albeit not all the time but occasionally. could it be head gasket?

Also I checked my spark plugs too, as I read somewhere that could indicate coolant leak.
I only managed to take a pic of the front most spark plug before it started to rain

If you have white smoke especially at startup and you're losing coolant, you likely have a leaking head gasket. Other symptoms include:

• Black greasy residue in your coolant reservoir
• Fluid level in radiator going down (checked when cold), but not in the reservoir
• Engine overheating, running hot
• engine sputtering at startup

I don't have a lot of experience at reading spark plugs, but if you look at all four and one is noticeably different, that is likely where you have your problem. The spark plug photos you posted don't appear to be bad to me.

Thanks for the response, as for radiator level going down, that's the only sign, in pics 1 and 2 though those spark plugs have the most bluish color to them than 3 and 4
