Honda Engine Question

[Sonor]

I freely admit to NOT being a wrench.  While I understand many functions of autos etc, I am not good at wrenching.  That said, I have a quick question regarding my wife's 1996 Civic.  The engine does not burn oil, runs like a champ, and has 203K miles on it.  My wife is NOT going to get rid of the car.  However, I did notice that the engine is leaking oil at the crankshaft pulley area directly above the oil pan.  Does this mean an engine rebuild or can that area just accept a new gasket without a rebuild?  (I think I know the answer, but have to ask)

Most likely the oil pump seal. Just did this on a 2001 civic along with an oil pan gasket.  Rebuild not necessary completely doable in the driveway.  Lots on info on the web.
