Default RE: oil leak

i would get some new washer mounts. They have a rubber seal inside of them and they do have a tendenic to leak if they are not tight or they are cracked and brittle due to the heat of the engine.

Ya, go to the Honda dealer, you should just be able to get the seal, they take some work to pop on though, you'll see when you get the bolts out. MAKE SURE YOU TORQUE THEM TO SPEC! They are very easy to break, especially if it's an older civic.
