To put it simply, my B14 has a leak. It doesn't leave spots in the driveway or leak terribly bad but it has gotten onto my ac belt. I'm not quite sure how long it has been leaking as there was never an issue. It's the GA16 engine. I found it today when changing my oil and it has gotten everywhere due to driving. I've cleaned all that I could see off. The engine has about 78,500 on it. With that amount of mileage on the engine, what would be some problematic areas I'm looking at?

Its either the oil pan gasket. But more than likely the front main seal, which is located behind the crank pulley area. My moms car is doing the same issue and I have already resealed the oil pan, no that is no the cause.

I had the same problem and found out it was the oil pan gasket, though yours may be the main seal instead. Check both just to make sure.
