    Which fill/drain bolt? Trans., oil, Diff?
    They should be easily found in most auto parts stores. Just make sure to get the right size for the application. Also pick up some new copper seal washers (that could be you problem and you won't even need the bolt). The washers are like $2.50 for 3.

    Yep, try a new copper washer. If that don't work, they should have the bolts at the local auto parts store. They are a common part...just be sure to get the proper size. (look near the oil/oil accessaries)

    Also make sure the threads on the old bolt were not cross threaded. I did that once, got lucky, but it was pretty ugly. I bought new nylon washers and they work good.

    The proper way to fix this problem is to use a bolt with a captive, recessed o-ring. Just pick one up at your local Honda dealer for about $9.
