2000 Honda Civic EX Oil Pan Gasket Leaking

I just bought this car. It does have 192,000 miles on it so doesnt suprise me that the oil pan gasket is leaking. My mechanic had it on the lift and I saw some oil coming from the front of the engine. And he took a quick look at it and said the oil pan gasket is leaking. I'm pretty handy with cars.

Any pictures or advice anyone has on doing this?

ok well silicone is your friend also don't over tighten the blots just a light snug will do it. you can also let the silicone sit and dry before you put the oil back
