Something leaking?
i was changing the oil in my prelude last week.. and i noticed that something seems to be leaking.. from the pic, it would appear its coming from the oil pan gasket.. but i think its coming from somewhere above....
disregard the oil drips on the right side of the pic.
thanks

From the looks of it, you're looking @ a possible front main seal leak, or even a valve cover leak from above. Too hard to tell unless you can remove the timing cover. FYI! Good luck!

Err.. from the picture i think you have a CV boot leak... looks like a line of goo going up into the engine....Try getting it off with some brake cleaner, and see if it shows up in the same spots after a couple days of driving. If it shows up again in the same spray patteren, you should replace your CV boots.
And the oil leak lookslike your oil cooler is leaking, you might want to replace the gaskets around your oil filter.....
