Balancer shaft seal retainer.

See this tsb for an illustration. Your year Accord may or may not be installed on the same bolt location.

Thank you, It was driving me nuts and good old chiltons books isn't as detail as your attachment.

Thanks again

 

No problem. Most service manuals didn't show it, as Honda found out they had a problem later and issued the TSB. The TSB was for 5th gen Accords 4 cylinders; but, in truth, the 4th gen Accords and some 6th gen Accord 4 cylinders developed the leak from the same seal area; the retainer helps to keep the seal from coming out as easily. So Honda actually stocks the retainers for 4th, 5th, and 6th gen Accord 4 cylinders.
