Leaking Cam seal. Very common in integra. Just replace it with another oem one.

but they wear out just as fast as an oem seal- anyway acure saw this as a problem and addressed the issue by producing a better oem part.

Well, I guess that is some of a relief - thanks. Exactly how hard is it to change the cam seal and could I damage anything by driving the car like that in the meantime?

you have to pull off the head cover other than that concult a mnual. as far as driving yourcar with it like that - I did for over 5 years and jsut waited till i got my timing belt replaced, the oil that leaked out was insignificant and i barely had to refill the oil because of it. i just wiped themess up as it appeared.
