Oilpan, Front and rear valve cover leaks

Gentlemen,

My 2000 with 58,875 miles started to develop oil leaks from the front and rear valve covers and oil pan. Found about it this morning when I took it to a local Honda dealer for oil change and state inspection. Any local mechanic in the Southwest part of town that I can take it to?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
 
I would almost swear that the later cars are more prone to leaks than the early cars, lately every car that gets a TB/WP needs pan/valve cover and don't forget the crank and cam seals/plugs!

Thanks JonBlaze. Another Prime member (Rahim) speaks very highly of them. Carboy it is then.
 
This may not solve your problem but it may save you some money. How about checking if all of the nuts/bolts are torqued to factory specs?

When I swapped out my headers, I notices very small weeping around the oil pan. Nothing that would drip in the garage but still annoying. While I had the car on jackstands, I simply torqued each nut to spec. It took all of 10 minutes. The same could be said for the valve covers.
