Check the tube seals on the valve cover first.

Let's discuss your vehicle and motor first, shall we? Are you turbo or supercharged? Did you recently replace gaskets on your head or valve cover?

The Valves Seals
And or the Piston rings
No it is not too bad, but take it to the garage before the police do it for you, for throw a lot of smoke

Exactly it's more than likely your spark plug tube/valvecover seals that need to be replaced, they tend to leak on Hondas.
