A couple of months ago I noticed oil under the tranny and on the rear motor mount, followed it up and saw some oil pooling just under the valve cover.
Obvious valve cover gasket leak.
Took it to honda as it's under warranty.
"We checked and there are no leak, must be oil that got spilled at oil change"
Smelled bullshit but hey, they're the techs, not me.
2 months later I check and see this
Ye, totally no leaks there.
Called them back, bringing it back in next week.

My local dealership in Mechanicsville, VA has told me the same thing -its a "known issue" but there is no fix at this time. rear side of engine valve cover.

The known issue being a valve cover gasket? Because that shit must be leaking.
