Had a pesky leak at the oil pan. Finally pulled the engine, flipped it over, and fixed it "right". Now have it reinstalled and it's running well.

To answer somebodies question:  I used "Honda Bond" as the sealant, and the black rubber oil pan gasket (versus the cork gasket).  If you choose to not use any gasket, make sure the cam gear doesn't touch the oil pan. 

The Honda Bond can be purchased at Honda car dealerships.
