I got back under the car with a small mechanics telescoping mirror & the UV light again and I was able to see the UV oil dye above the oil pan gasket line, so I confirmed it was the rear main sea leaking. I called around to 5 repair shops in the East Orlando area and 4 out of 5 came back with repair estimates between $593 - $650 but one shop came back with $350 cost to repair. The shop that quoted me $350 has also replace the timing belt on this same Accord 2 yrs ago, so they've good work for me. I haven't had any problems since then. I'm going to drop it off Thurs and I'll let you guys know how it worked out for me with this repair for so cheap. I made sure he's going to use the Honda OEM rear main seal as well.

My car is finally repaired. I picked it up yesterday from the shop and its running great so far without any oil leak. They showed me the warn out rear main seal they took out and it was shot. They completed that repair for $350 out the door ($332.50 labor + $18.50 for the seal). Anyone needing that kind repair in East Orl look up VMP Auto Service on North Goldenrod Rd. They've replaced the timing belt on this same Accord 2 yrs ago so they have a good track record with me and they guarantee their work of course.
