Mofo is close the problem is the balancer shaft seal which should have been clipped. Now you need a new seal and a clip. Please take the car to honda and expect not to have it for a day or two. They will repair it for free. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR!!!!!

Since you also have 81,000 miles I recommend that you replace both your timing belt and water pump at this time because Honda will only charge you for the parts at this time becuase the labor involved is teh same for the belt and the seal. This translates to a savings of several hundred dollars.

My own car was clipped. My bro's 96 blew the seal on the way to the dealer to get clipped. Expect the dealership to be pricks about getting the job done in less than 2 days and don't plan on getting a renter/loaner despite the fact that this is a Honda **** up. This was my experience. PS HONDA SUCKS!!!!

good luck
