Same concept as taking advil when you break your arm. It ain't gotten heal the broken arm.

Ok well I know its not gonna fix the problem.

So here is the next thing. Last time I got an oil change I told the guy to check to see if there were any leaks.

He saw that it was "wet." He said it could be 1 of 3 things.

Rear Main Seal, Cam Shaft Seal, or the Front Crank Seal.

Anyone have info about these jobs?

Rear Main Seal is prolly the hardest.....Cam seal involves taking off timing belt and cams....

It could be a lot more than that. Those seals are pretty far apart. Buy a service manual if you really wanna fix it yourself.

I have a 2000 Accord Ex, I used the factory pcv valve, and that worked for me, been about 2 months watching and burning oil, made a trip to colorado from florida and added 3 qts total round trip, which is only about 3800 miles, there was never any smoking, I did smell it burn from time to time though. The autoparts pcv is not correct, the factory part made a difference.
Now i will try using the Honda 5-30 recommended oil, maybe it will stop completely. Thought i would share my experience.

My Accord was having the same issue after 150K miles. I had a shop flush it with those BG products Rush Limbaugh always talks about. I gotta say my Honda hasn't run this great in years. Check it out man, trust me.

Who did the flush? Let me know i might try, i heard that if you do it the quicker flush method, it might cause some troubles too!!! So ive been using Seafoam, just before every change.
