Default Need help identifying leak.

I’m not 100% sure, but does this look like a rear main seal leak? . Oil coming from passenger side. (2000 Honda civic lx)

There's a few places to check first. Thankfully these engines are pretty simple.

Distributor
Vtec solenoid
oil pan
Breather box/pcv
Valve cover

The last 2 are unlikely given where ur oil is, but oil can travel.

You’ve got to clean it all up, to determine where the leak is coming from. Once that is done, it should be easy to locate.
