Let us know how you fix the problem. My area is exactly the same.
thanks

Forgive me for butting in but I believe the fix was described on post #18.

I really think this was a well documented problem on the 2013 (and earlier 2010-on) if it's coming out from around the cam end cap. Heck, I found out about it by searching the internet; printed the symptoms/fix people described; showed it to my dealer who wasn't aware at all about any problems. Dealer contacted American Honda, who contacted Honda Japan and they somehow confirmed the gasket install defect. Granted, my fix was under warranty, but I would certainly argue the point with the dealer/Honda before pulling anything apart myself.

That's cool! Great minds think alike!
I have an email exchange going on with ThreeBond right now. Apparently this stuff is made in Japan and not easy to get. I wonder what the dealers use? (Maybe I don't want to know!)
