Default Oil Leak Seals & Gaskets Question

Hi all Im newb here and to working on cars. the clutch went out on my 95 accord ex coupe and i decided to change it myself. everything has gone well. But now that the transmission is out i want to replace any seals or gaskets etc that i can. Needless to say i have no idea where to start. Ive done some research and cant seem to find a diagram or list of all the seals. I could at least check them one by one that way any help is appreciated, and ill continue to research.

you mean on the engine right, not the transmission seals?

when doing a clutch job I almost always replace the rear main seal. it's less than $15 and with the flywheel being the only additional thing to remove, it's a good oppertunity to access it.

I'm sure someone on youtube has done a video that could explain the removal and replacement of this seal better than i could here. i'll leave the searching to you.

I'd do the axle seals... I didn't do one on my last clutch job, because I ordered the wrong part. It leaked.

If you buy an aftermarket seal, make sure to put a glob of grease on the inner lip before you install it to help it break in. Honda seals come pre-greased so you won't need to do it if you buy a Honda rear main seal. This is very important.

I use a multi-purpose/bearing grease that comes in the big tub. most any medium weight automotive grease will do.
