it might not be oil, it might be dorad fluid leaking from your terminal exponder doradiator, which is just as bad of a case as it sounds...

possibly from the balancer shaft seal........94-97 accords had a real issue with those seal leaking and in some occasions totally popping out ...
if it is that seal, when replacing it, make sure to install a retainer as well , dealer sells them 4-5 dollars

sound like seals behind the timing belt are leaking. possible crank,balancer seal, oil pump seal,cam seal leak. you need to take off the upper and lower timing belt covers to see which seal or seals are leaking. you mine as well do a timing belt,water pump and drive belt replacement while you have everything off. get the factory balancer seal retainter if balancer seal is leaking

You ned to get a couple cans of GUNK degreaser, spray everything down, let it sit a little while and wash it all off, reinspect for missed areas, hit it again. Go for a test drive and reinspect for fresh oil leaks, then let us know where its coming from for sure.

Do not wash your engine in your moms yard or she will surely beat your ***.
