I just had my oil changed -- no prior oil leak. Every day for a week, I find a small circle spot in my driveway under the center of the hood. I took it back to the shop and it was put under the rack and wiped off excess oil and said to bring back if problem persists. Said it possibly could be the seal and would need to take out the engine to fix it.
I just had an oil pan replaced by a local honda dealer last year, along with a timing belt and master cylinder & all I took it in for was a simple tune-up & 30,000 checkup so I am very reluctant about this bit of news but found a Service Bulletin for 2002 Honda Civic seal problem.
