Leaking oil from hex bolt
As the title states, that hex head bolt on the front of the motor right underneath the valve cover leaks oil. I dont even know what that bolt goes to or what its called. And I've never seen it leak oil on any other s2k's. Help is appreciated...

I guess you're referring to the timing chain upper cog axle. It has an O-ring around it to keep oil in. Guessing it has failed.
You would need to get an O-ring either from Honda or a compatible one. One of the mechanics will be able to tell you whether you can get access to the O-ring just by loosening the bolt/axle a bit or whether you have to pull the valve cover and hold the upper cog in place whilst you completely remove the bolt.
