    I have a 91 Accord that has a slight oil leak. It is dripping at the
    oil pan, driver side corner, nearest to the firewall. It is obivously
    coming off the mid-section of the engie, below the head. Any idea
    where the oil is coming from? It leaks about 1 liter every 4 weeks,
    but I'm getting tired of the mess under the car everytime and
    everywhere I park it. Oil sensor?

    Common leak on this car is the oil pressure sender, located above the
    oil filter. I replaced mine while the filter was off for an oil change.
    Did it from under the car. I take the left front tire off when I do my
    oil changes, so it's easier to get to the drain plug and filter.
    Other seals on the front of the engine can also leak, and I had to
    replace the oil pan and gasket too when they leaked.

    Thanks for your reply. Mine is not leaking over the oil filter, that
    is one place where it is dry, could be some of the seals that you
    mentioned. 401Runner,, 91 Accord 238000 miles
