Clean it all off then drive it for a bit and check again.

Could be the output shaft seal on the transmission.

Camshaft endplug cover? It is on the side of the cylinder head next to the EGR valve (if you have one).

Or the VTEC solenoid gaskets are another common oil leak: 2001 civic oil leak unknown origin [solved - VTEC solenoid leaking - uncommon]] - Honda Civic Forum (civicforums.com)

The valve cover gasket is another common source of oil leak.
