I had all the belts and hoses replaced at 100k and ever since then I have noticed oil leaking at the back of the engine when I do an oil change.

Where or what is usually the most common oil leak problem?

97 non-vtec engine.

 

where does the leak appear to be mostly concentrated at? Could be the oil pan gasket if the oil leak is only on the oil pan area. Maybe leaking from the oil filter is it's coming straight down the middle of the block.

need to be a little more specific on the location of the oil.

 

Check the rear main seal too.

Filter (part $5)(labor $15)

Gasket (part $50)(labor $150 w/o oil change)

Seal (part $20)(labor $640)

 

clean everything up with brake cleaner and follow where the leak is coming from. the most common leak is either b/c ur oil filter is too loose or ur oil pan gasket. hondas have a tendency to leak at the oil pan gasket. it can't be the rear main b/c that's between ur transmission and the motor.

Which slowly makes its way around the oil pan...looking like oil pan gasket went bad, then drips on your a-pipe making it smell like ****. Gotta love that burning oil smell every time I get in the car. Then the smoke comes out when I put the hood to add more oil.
