Oil Leak
Hey Everyone,
Noob here, so bear with me. I am trying to fix what I believe to be an oil leak in a 2003 Civic LX. I have attached a photo showing a pool of oil on the left side of the engine (when facing the front of the car). There are also other spots around the radiator hoses. It's been leaking for about a month now but I checked the oil level and it looks to be normal. Does anyone have any idea what the source may be?
Thanks!

Re: Oil Leak
Probably the seal on the round black cap.
Replace the cap.
Search here for a DIY if you need to.

Should be about $8.00 at an honest dealer parts department.
