Oil leaking.... Oil pan questions...
So I changed the oil on the R a few minutes ago and noticed that I'm leaking oil from somewhere. I check my oil levels pretty much every morning before heading out and it doesn't eat that much oil in the 2000 miles that I put between oilchanges. The car has 93k miles and will be going in for some new toys hopefully soon. When i'm looking at it it looks like its missing one bolt and one nut on another pic in comparison to the other ones...
Also I'll be needing some hondabond for my dipstick tube soon as its been loose. I have the heatshield removed but I can't put any light to take pics of it...
What do you guys recommend on doing next. Going to do a compression test later this week just to check things out.
Here are the pics of the oilpan bolts:
First pic shows what looks like a missing bolt. The second pic shows the missing bolt and another one that's missing a nut. Sorry for the crappy resolution. Took these from my phone under the car...

I don't know how it happened, but I was missing a nut and a bolt on my oil pan too. Was that way when I got the car (with only 13K miles). I ended up ordering the replacements and installed a new oil pan gasket at the same time for good measure at ~70K miles.
With oil leaks you're best to start at the top and look for leaks. Check cam seals, distributor, valvecover gasket, then go lower if it doesn't appear there are any leaks in those spots.
