Took my car to Weseloh Honda (Orange County, California) to be worked on by Tony Ivy (Service Manager) and Hector (Technician) as advised by Shane from AVAS (Aliso Viejo Auto Service). Both Tony and Hector were awesome to work with and am glad that Shane recommended me to them.
Here is what my service paperwok says
"Removed transmission for inspection, replaced rear engine main seal that was leaking, replaced sealing bolt on engine block above rear main seal."
So far I have not seen new oil leak and am keeping my fingers crossed.
I hope it's the rear main seal...I have found the oil gallery sealing washer squished, causing what APPEARS to be a rear main seal leak. It is near impossible to tell the difference, unless the engine is run with the trans removed.
oil gallery plug and washer is in 1 oclock position from the crank:
well its almost like a clutch job your just replacing the rear main seal instead. when it happened to me i got a new clutch disk and what not because the amount of oil was so bad that it destroyed my clutch.

Was your clutch slipping prior to when you got it fixed? Also, how bad is bad? Was there a pool of oil leaking from the car even when stationary?
Referring to Billman's concern about the oil galley plug and washer I think "replaced sealing bolt on engine block above rear main seal." may be one in the same. OP should be good to go.
