Leak '97 Honda Civic CX
I recently got a '97 Honda Civic CX hatchback 5 spd manual transmission and while replacing an oxygen sensor I noticed the leak on the passenger side (that the solid red line is pointing to). How serious of a problem is this?

Other than that start from the top of the engine (valve cover gasket) down to pinpoint a possible leak. Passenger side leaks can be valve cover gasket. oil pan gasket, rear main seal, PCV valve/grommet.

I'd associate that with grease slung from the CV boot......If there is not evidence of leakage from this axle, it may be leftover evidence from a previous axles' boot leaking.
