Well first of all,your balancer shaft Oil Seal has backed out of the engine.. You have to reinstall the oil seal, and get a seal retainer from Honda. The retainer will stop the oil seal from backing out again..

See the bracket looking thing far right side of picture, that has a dotted line around it, and a arrow with the numbers a-3, a-3-1, a-3-2 below it. Thats the new retainer you have to install..TSB#00-073
