My buddy changed out my head gasket, but oil is now spilling out from it. It looks like a small little leak. Should I just redo it or is their something (like Silicon) or something I can put on the leak to stop it?

Did you re-surface the head? Did you check the block deck for warpage? If not, you must do all that.

Did you purchase new head bolts? (it is a must when doing a headgaket on a honda) And were they torqued to proper spec and in the proper order?
