Any way to snap a picture underneath there? Visuals always help.
Typical honda leaks:
- Valve Cover and Spark Plug Seals
- Cam Seals
- Oil Pan Gasket

If I am missing a couple.... oh well. I am sure someone else will mention it...

I had the same problem with mine when i bought it a while back, there was a header job done on my 90 acura int (if thats the right term) im new to this. and it stopped it from leaking on the outside but on the inside it was flooding my 3rd cylinder. I figured the car was not running on all 4 cylinders for a while. I took the top off of my block? where the exhaust pipes start(correct me if you want im new to car stuff) and had re-seal all of the seals inside and it stopped. im not sure if this is much help but im trying to learn as well so any tips for me on this post would be great. Thanks!

if the head was taken off before and wasnt installed correctly its possible to leak between head and block. especially if the head wasnt milled or copper spray on head gasket. even the block getting decked. mine leaked from there even though my head was milled and when i finally took the block to machine shop deck wasnt perfetly straight. since it got decked never leaked from there again
