My 2006 Honda Odyssey has been leaking oil for months. My mechanic has replaced every seal, tightened everything up, and replaced the pcv valve too. Each time I get it back a new oil leak appears. It is the oil leak that will not end! I have put $1,000 into this. I would just give up if the oil leak weren’t so bad. It’s really bad, and three mechanics don’t know why my van keeps generating new leaks. I hope someone here has a hint!

none can see if leak is on top of motor or down low?  
new valve cover gaskets?  
camshaft seals?  
front timing balancer seal?  
oil pan gasket?  
oil filter adapter and/or oil pressure sender does not leak?  
last but not least. rear main seal. did he remove the transmission? you would certainly have paid for that?  
i say take it to honda dealer and say nothing but have them find leak
