Okay my dad has a 95' Accord Ex. It has a Ulev Vtec F22B engine.

So, ever since he got back from the mechanic, it has been leaking oil like crazy (which i think the shady mechanic probably caused on purpose!)

Anyway, I went under the car but couldn't see the origin of the leak.

My hypothesis is the Rear Main Seal or Oil pan.

Okay, last month I put some 20w 50 Castrol high mileage and Lucas Stop Leak. It worked and kinda slowed down the oil leak, but now it's back to normal and leaks about cup of oil a week.

My question is, if it is the Rear Main Seal, is there a way to fix it or stop it or slow down the leak without opening up the darn tranny and engine to replace it??????

I work on Cars all day long, but I really don't want to work on a FWD car especially doing timing belts or a main seal.
 
That's the only way by taking them apart , I don't like working on FWD car eitherwhen it's something like this that needs to be fixed,if it was a rear wheel drive it's not to bad.If it's just leaking a cup of oil a week i wouln't be know hurry to fix it, you might put a can of STP in the oil each time you change the oil , i've seen were it will help slow the leak down.
 
Balance shaft seal leaks is very common,the seal just walk out of its place,there is a retainer made to hold it back,should be installed whenever a timing belt job is done.If oil come out bottom of timing belt cover,then that is it.
