1998 Honda Accord V6 Oil Leak, Unknown Bolt
Hey there I recently discovered an oil leak on my Accord, it's a 3.0 V6.
The only area that was slightly wet with oil was the corner of my oil pan along with some oil pan bolts, I thought it was the drain bolt, with a little snooping I believe I may of found a bolt that it's coming from, as it appears to be dry in the area above that bolt.
Here are some pics, yellow oil filter on right, axle on left, and row of bolts on bottom is the top of the oil pan, this bolt is the larger one just above.......if anyone can tell me what it is that'd be great.

Oil pressure switch sits above that. Check that first. I think the bolt mounted 90 degrees to block is bearing cap side bolt.

Checked the sensor it's good and dry. Thanks though, I'm not sure if it's coming from that bolt or the thread plug above it..
