Hello (Scotty),
My 1998 Honda Accord LX 2.3 L 4 cylinder engine car with last known mileage 183,43x miles (odometer unreadable) has been leaking oil for a long time now. It was leaking only a little bit of oil when I first got the car 6 years ago in high school, now it's leaking a lot. So far my mechanic recently replaced the VTEC solenoid gasket for me at $95, and advised me to come back to him in the future to continue pinpointing the cause of the leak. I jacked up my car and found where the oil leak might be coming from, video provided here or on youtube with link. What part is the oil leaking from my car? What parts should I buy to rectify the issue? The street where I parked my car on has been stained with the oil for years now. Suggestions? Thanks.

Looks to me to be the real mansell of the engine you would have to pull the transmission off to replace that seal perhaps try some at 205 reseal , Amazon sells it
Thank you for your suggestion Scotty! take care.
I know I saw that, I was excited and it was an honor for him to answer my question live on camera for youtube. Thanks a bunch @scottykilmer!
FWIW, I have an oil leak on my 1999 Honda Accord, and tried the 205 reseal. It still leaks, but not as much as prior. Every case is different, and it might very better for you!!! Mine looked to be an oil pan gasket leak. Fascinating stuff.
I don't know what part it's leaking from, but it can be seen in the video provided.
Like Scotty said, it looks like the rear main seal. AT 205 reseal may be a temporary cheap solution, assuming it works. Otherwise, it will need to be changed out.
yeah you are right @Kaizen it is the rear main seal and possibly front main seal too. Mechanic pointed it out to me after inspecting my car after an oil change and complimentary brake job adjustment.
