Default Front Seal Leak?

98 accord with a very steady oil leak from front of engine, looks like front seal, but it is a steady leak. Could it be something worse and would it hurt o drive to shop. I would top off oil of course

i think what you have is a leaking balance shaft seal that popped out. make sure where ever you bring it to get fixed you have them order from honda the balance shaft seal retainer. it was used on older accords and can be used on newer ones up to the 2002 accords.

i dont recommend you driving it because the oil will leak out faster than you think.
