I have an oil leak from behind timing belt cover. Does anyone know the source or cause? Thanks.

your going to have to remove your timing belt cover to find out

but... its ether the crankshaft seal, one of the balanceshaft seals, or maybe one of the cam seals

I'm not sure which one tends to go out first though

Its probably your front balancer shaft seal i just had mine pop out. Here check this out, also make sure,if it is the balancer seal, you get the retainer from honda its like $3.

Edit: OK its not letting me post the right link, so just go to my other thread on PZ and click on the link in the 10th post down.

Take a quick look and pop off the valve cover and see if that seal between the head and valve cover is worn out, torn, pinched. may be an easy fix
