Oil from my 1996 honda accord poured out of the front balancer seal while warming up in my driveway. Luckily i noticed it before i had engine trouble. I had it towed to my mechanic's shop and had it repaired for about $500. My mechanic said that the balancer seal had worked itself out and sitting on the crankshaft. I have only 68900 miles on it. *ak
