2000 Honda Civic 4D sedan, AT, oil leak
better view
This is on a 2000 honda civic LX 4 door Sedan Auto Trans.
When you follow the oil pan from L to R the engine meets the tranny...see arrows for where oil is leaking.
Question for forum.
1. What is this part or seal or 2 components called?
2 Is it likely leaking from here or above and dripping down? ( I cannot see)
3. If i discovered the oil filter just a tad loose with hand tightening, could the oil be leaking from there and flowing down to this point?
thank you
See arrows for where I believe it is leaking??? What part is on the L of bolt and is that the transmission on R? What is this seal called?

this is where oil gathers when the filter comes off (or isn't on all the way...)
the part with the arrow is just a brace (block/trans "stiffener")
probably also have an oil pan gasket leak (worthwhile to replace), a rear main seal leak (not usually worth the effort unless you really like taking your car apart on the weekends...), and likely more from higher up dripping down (distributor o-ring which is cheap and easy and failure-prone and the valve cover gasket which is easy to replace).

Awesome thanks for the info.
I re-hand tightened the oil filter.... I was a bit loose. Will check leak again in a few hours.
Will def consider oil pan gasket. Thx!
There is no pooling of oil where distributor is, so I ruled that out.

+1. Oil found on the bottom of the engine has usually run down from somewhere else.
If there were a leak of the shaft seals of either the engine or the transmission, the oil (or transmission fluid) will usually come out of the square hole you see in the bottom of the case.
