Andy is right check the sump gasket 
also there is a oil filter housing gasket that fails and it will get worse if left the is screen that gets clogged up and it will leak in the cam belt pulley area next the oil filter ^_^
one I’ve fixed earlier

I'm not sure what the original OEM recommendations for this car was, but generally on older and higher mile engine its good to use thicker oil. For gearbox oil fo with OEM Honda oil or Amsoil, dont use anything else, best to stick with Honda one.
