that sucks, i had the same problem last week, unfortunately i didnt have the time to fix it myself but was suprised that it only cost 150 to have it fixed with OEM parts. I usually do all of my own work and repairs but i thought that was a pretty good deal.

depending on the car it wont take more than like an hour or 2. just remove all your belts, then hopefully u have something to get the crank pulley off because thats the hardest part. once thats off remove the plastic cover(if its still on) loosen the timing belt tensioner and pull the timing belt off the timing gear. once thats off pull off the timing gear and then the oil pump which is held on by like 5 or 6 ten's. pop the old seal out and put the new seal in. make sure the spring doesnt pop out of the seal or youll have the same problem again. then reassemble, thats it. have fun.

Yeah thats a very easy repair, only 7 bucks and some change for a new one at honda. Oh and use a deep socket thats the same size as the seal and gentley tap the seal into place. I didint have a deep socket that big so mine went in kinda crooked but dosent leak so all is good.
