the number 10 screw thats the drain plug theres another screw in the bottom on mine i am not sure which one is leaking from???

i did change my oil and put in new oil

you probably either need a new crush washer ( #15) or its not tightened enough or its just dripping from when you changed it.

Did you replace the aluminum crush washer on the drain plug with a new one?

Well, you may have been able to figure out what the likely problem is then . . .

yes. if you pulled your own axle and it got messed up then theres your problem. im not sure how common they go back by themselfs though.

It is quite possible, considering the axle seal is directly above the drain plug. Does it look like that's where the oil is coming from?

Axle seals are not expensive, but you have to remove the axle to install one. If you have all the correct tools and have changed an axle before, it shouldn't take you more than an hour. If you haven't removed an axle before, I'd suggest having a more experienced buddy help you out and show you how to do it without damaging the ball joint. You will need a 36mm socket (preferably with a pneumatic impact gun powering it) and a ball joint separator. Some folks can pop the ball joint free without a special tool.

i am guessing that right axle is going bad cuz we found grease in some areas and it was hit in that right fender section from the previous owner so i am guessing thats my problem

 

I'm not sure about AutoZone, but the OE part number for a '95 Accord 5MT right axle seal is 91206-PX5-005 and it should cost you $7.55 at any Honda dealership.

Is the left axle seal leaking?

If so, change the left one too. You will need to remove both axles in that case.

WASHERS seem to be such a minor thing, but they are very crucial when it comes to automobiles. just my .02
