Default ok, i have an oil leak, i think it could be a seal

i have an oil leak right around my oil pump.... it is not from the pan, and is dripping out from under the lower timing belt cover, it's not from the head, it's down on the lower end somewhere..... i think it might be the crank seal on the oil pump, but i guess it could be something else. what do guys think..... is it possible to blow out a seal on a honda?

balance shaft seal. if you don't have the clip that honda issues for it have it checked out immediately.

you could easily seize your newly built motor if this occurs.

oil pressure is about 25psi at idle, and 50psi with contant throttle, and WOT with higher RPMS, it goes up to about 75psi
