Engine runs well but leaks very little oil.

What is the best way to diagnose it? I just had an underbody car wash so I will try to pinpoint the source. Does anyone have some suggestions?

You just answered your own question.

have you seen the oil on your driveway or just noticing the low levels on the dipstick, cuz it could be burning oil, pretty common with hondas.

my 96 hatch burns a LITTLE oil..hardly any, but it does. nothing for me to be worried about, not running even close to any worries in between oil changes..... i'd be worried if you need to toss in a quart every week or if it's all over your driveway....

what makes you think it leaks oil, is it dripping spots, or is the engine just dirty from leaking??

The easiest way to find a leak is to buy some die and a small black light the die is about $7 and the light is about $15 wash the engin top and bottom and put the die in the oil.
Run your car for like 10 min then use the black light the new oil with the die in it will glow in the black light follow the glow back until u find the source. If it goes behind the trany inspection plate then most likely it is a rear main seal
