Oil Leak!

[m0nch1zzl3]

Left the driveway and noticed oil on the ground, and when i checked under the car i saw small drips from the drain plug. Bad gasket or plug? Never had a oil leak before. I have also been smelling burnt oil when ive been driving for a while, could the leak be the cause as well?

Are you certain its coming from the sump drain plug and not running down along the sump and dripping off at the plug? if its just dripping at drain plug, get new crush washer and put it on should be job done then.

Burning smell will be the oil dripping onto the exhaust manifold

Not entirely sure as i just noticed it. But i will check this out later today and give it a better inspection. Will post what i find out. Thanks for the replies.

oil will seep its way down things and make it hard to spot where the leak is really coming from, have a good look in there with a flashlight is my best advise, if its just he drain plug though just get a new washer from Honda

Thanks guys. Took a good look and seems the leak came from the oil filter. Drained it out changed the filter, oil and cleaned it up. Hopefully that took care of that problem.
