Any ideas of WHAT YEAR the Accord is?
Would "that bolt" be the oil pan drain plug by any chance?
If I guessed right; see if there is a crush washer under the bolt head.
Could be stripped out pan threads as well?
Any oil leaking from up above that could wind up collecting down there?

x2, Most likely you or an mechanic been t=voer tighten the bolt to hard. Which will cause the leak your talking about “if” its really coming from the oil pan drain bolt. There’s some simply steps to fix this problem. You can go buy a new oil pan drain bolt and washer. If that doesn’t work then you would need another oil pan with a new bolt, aight hope that helps, laters.
