Default leaking oil

so for the past 3 weeks my car has been on a lift at honda for symtoms of leaking oil. As first i thought it was a bad transmission seal because thats where the oil was leaking from. Well replaced the mail oil seal in the transmission and thought everything was good. Well a few days later as im driving my car starts smoking. I immediatly pull over and discover oil driping out my transmission so im like wtf!!! call honda take it back etc. Now the only thing that the mechanics at honda think it is is the lower main seal and another area closer to the top of the block that screws in. (I forgot what its called sry) so i am now getting these seals replaced. Has anyone else ever encountered these problems? Mind you this is a 05 with 7K on the clock so im pretty upset. Any enlightenment would be fantastic so i dont feel like such a loner on this problem. thanks guys

I think it has happened once or twice before

At 25k, no leaks for me yo.

Those asshat's where you took the car should have thoroughly cleaned the area where the suspected leak was coming from, and then tested the car for at least 5 miles before they gave it back to you.

Hey thanks a lot for all these responses. It really (reassuring Sp) that i don't have to worry about any massive problems like this because i was really discouraged about this since my car only has 7K on it. I was so upset i contemplated selling it but i think ill be fine now. Thanks a lot for all the great feedback.
