Oil leak while parked

    My 89 Accord SE-I (a20a3 engine) is leaking oil while parked in the driveway
    overnight. Will a bad oil pan gasket or rear main seal cause that? Is the
    oil level high enough to leak while just sitting there?
    Thanks,
    Forrest

    My plug leaked after about 45 oil changes (200K).
    Techs can be a little sloppy.
    I used pizza pans for a couple years then.

    Yes.

    Find a slightly different place to park it (further back in the
    driveway, for instance. Or your neighbor's driveway, if it's
    spotless).

    Park the car cold overnight. Oil? Look at the drain plug first
    (please, Lord) and then the mail (no, Lord). No oil? Look at the pan
    gasket.

    The RMS Titanic sank on April 15th. US income taxes
    are due on April 15th. Coincidence? I think not.

    Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President and died on April 15th. The 16th
    amendment to the constitution was for income tax ...... coincidence?
    Freeing the slaves was the 13th ..... bad luck?
