first thing to do is to look at the rocker cover seal as this is the most comman place for leakage and also the quickest to check.
have a look just under the distributer or at the back of the cover seal.
I have seen to meny people go for the hard stuff first like the head gasket or main oil seals only to find out all it is was the rocker cover.
check this first.

front main is the crank seal, not the balancer shaft seal.

 

rocker seal...is that the Valve cover gasket??????

well up top looks dry, head-gasket is okay, oil pan is okay, oil filter is okay....what is this about the crank seal....? where is it located and where is the balancer shaft located??? Oh...its a 94 accord f22b. non-vtec, and one other thing it drips right on to the exhaust pipe, if this helps any!!! Does the crank seal, rear main seal, or balancer seal sit above the exhaust pipe! How about the Axle output shaft seal...does this leak AT tranny fluid?

 

Hey I was wondering if you had this problem fixed yet. I was having the same problem with my Prelude and it ended up being a seal that needed to be replaced behind the enginer oil cooler, which is the part the oil filter sits on. Supposedly this rubber seal goes bad around 60,000 miles and is one of the parts that is replaced when you take it into the dealer for that mileage inspection. Well the part costs about $3.00 and should take an hour or less to fix.

 

you obviously don't know the basic layout of your engine...

crankshaft and balance shafts run parallel with the engine block...so left to right

your pulleys (and seals) are on the drivers side (except for the output shaft side, but that rarely leaks and would lead on the exhaust) , the reason ppl are saying balance shaft seal is because there was a recall on some makes because the seal could pop out and you lose all your oil in a second

and your TWO axle seals (you got two axles go figure) wouldn't be leaking much and it would be ATF

More than likely if its leaking onto your exhaust its coming from the backside of the engine, oil filter is probably loose or something.

quit playing what if, just follow the leak up until you don't see any more oil!

 

If nothing else helps, start it up. If the leak is that bad you will see it real quick.
