Simple.

Either Main shaft seal or engine seal. If it's tranny fluid then its the shaft seal, if its engine oil its the engine seal.

I replaced my main shaft seal, if you need I have a new engine seal from Honda I didn't need to install.

Probably the engine seal (rear main). The clutch shop told me in advance to pay for the seal as preventative maintenance before they even went to work. Sure enough, it was slowly seeping oil, but not enough to leak.

It can also be the oil gallery plug on the back of the block. It uses an aluminium oring, and can be distorted from the factory. It has a large Allen key hole, and os behind the flywheel. Take a peek while its apart.
