Im having the same problem here. I replaced my oil plug twice and it still does it. Might have something to do with the oil pan gasket

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is it just over the oil pan?

If that's it. Oil pan gasket definitely.

On the last picture. I think I see your distributor. If so, and there's the dried oil in between the head and block. It's ALSO the headgasket.

well it may be the oil pan, but from the pictures it looks like the front and rear main seals. i currently have the same problem with my y7. i thought it was oil pan gasket but i changed it in the summer and im still leaking.
also, in the last picture it looks like your leaking oil from your distributor. change the o-ring and that should fix that leak at least.

why do you have a temp plug?

I had a leak like this ... It was actually leaking from the valve cover gasket and seeping down the side of the block between the inner and outter timing belt cover . Could also be front and rear main seal. Check the vlve cover gasket tho .... Replace it if needed and use some hondabond in the corners.

thank u everyone, i would like to try and start from head down. does any 1 know of sites for all these gasket

 

[knightxrider1]

just my two cents.. i had two Y8's and they both leaked in the rear main seal.

valve cover is the easiest to change takes about 30 mins
Plus you can clean off ur v/c while changing it haha
....and I am also having the same problem just been too cold to do anything

why dont you bring it to a shop... they put it on a lift. then they tell you wat it is... they dont charge you unless you say yes they can do the work.

then they can tell you a rough estimate of how much its gonna be too

oil pan gasket

First thing i would do in a case like this is to clean the entire engine that way you can actually tell where is coming from and go from there, good luck

 

[got traction]

check the o-ring on the dizzy...it looks like its leaking from there too

o ring like Got Traction said or definatly the front and rear main seals. had the same issue with mine. alot of hondas do aslo burn up some iol aswell. but check/replace tho's few things and you should be all set.
