My Odyssey leaks oil A LOT, only when it is running, not from the oil filter or the filter gasket, but from the base of the thing that the filter is screwed into.
When you lay under the car, it appears to be dripping from the bottom of the "thing" I described above. What do I do about this? Thanks!

This leak started rather suddenly, for what its worth

It's a 95 Odyessy, 220,000 miles, 2.2L engine. It is in otherwise great shape.

Sounds like the oil filter adapter.Honda should have all the gaskets and or seals req'd to fix this. Very inexpensive and easy to do yourself
