From what I've researched it seems like everyone that has a rear main seal leak is losing excessive amounts of oil. My oil loss is only seems to be trace amounts. It takes a couple weeks for oil loss to show up on the dipstick it seems.
So far I've changed:
Distributor O-Ring
Vtec Solenoid Gasket
Since I've changed both of those two already and they seem to be the only other popular oil leaks I'm lead to believe that it has to be the rear main seal that is leaking on me.
I found an awesome How-To on Honda-Tech, looks fairly extensive for a stupid little $15.00 gasket. Wish I would have changed it when the engine was out of the car.
Before I commence changing it, is there anything else that could be causing my leak? Wrack your brains and let me know... I'm just hoping that there is a quicker or easier solution. That is why I was very hopeful it was just the O-ring or the Vtec solenoid gasket, both of those were super easy to change.

Your axle seals are leaking on both sides. I would replace them and check your transmission fluid. i wouldnt touch the main seal until you are certain that is the problem.
