98 Honda Accord is leaking some oil?

I just bought a 98 Honda Accord and everything is fine but I noticed it leaks some oil. I look under the car and it's leaking right under the engine. What could be the cause of this? I know there could be many.

Drive it thru a car wash that cleans the under side of the car, then look & see if you can pin-point exactly where the oil is coming from.

Most likely the pan gasket is drying out. You could just crawl under there and look.

  • Why is my brand new Troy Bilt TB130 with a Honda engine leaking oil? I assembled the mower, added the oil as specified, checked the level, started it up, and mowed the yard. It worked well, however as I was nearing completion I noticed oil on the mower deck, on top of the filter (it was dry), the linkage, and everywhere. Why did it do this, can it be fixed, or should I return it. How do I keep it from happening a second time?
