Ok, took a peek under my car and noticed a whole lot of fresh oil around the bottom of the tranny case, passenger side sub frame, underbody, flywheel cover plate, and shift linkages. Checked my dip stick, sure enough, I was down a quart.

Cleaned all the oil I could, sprayed down areas with simple green, to see if I could find the origin of the leak. Couple days later, I check again and its still leaking in the same areas.

-I dont think its the oil pan gasket, because it seems to be flush and was replaced recently.
-If it were an axle seal, I would've been leaking tranny fluid and not motor oil, right?
-I would be skecthy to assume its the main seal, simply because it was changed at my first clutch swap @ 100k.
-The leak does not look like its coming from the head b/c it still appears to be clean as far as areas around distributor,vtec,and head cover seals.

The car has 108K now, any other suggestions or ideas?? All help is appreciated, as always.

could be a number of things, it could be your oil pressure sensor, your filter, your catch can, your oil pan gasket or maybe it is your main seal. try to take pics and pinpoint it a little better. good luck
