if it's only when the car is on it may be the oil cooler o-ring.

do a search in the prelude archives. it's between the cooler and the block. the cooler is what the filter screws onto. the o-ring costs maybe 3$

that hose carries coolant...the leak is from the o-ring under the cooler. take off the oil filter and the big nut on the stud it screws onto. very common prelude problem

today i saw that it doesnt come from the back of the block but comes from under the timing belt cover..i think it might be the oil seals by the crank what do u guys think....on preludes its really hard to see nething bc the motor is so close to the fenders i can barely fit a finger in there
