I just had the identical repair on my truck as coolbob's post describes.
When I took it in for an oil change a couple of weeks ago, the tech noticed that there was a film of oil on the bottom of the engine and suspected that the bolts were leaking. They put in some fluorescent additive and had me drive it for a couple of weeks, then when I took it in they used a UV light to determine that yes the bolts had a couple of small leaks. They did the same repair described above, apparently very easy but it did have to sit for 24 hours. The dealership gave me a loaner car (2013 Accord) which I spent quite a bit of time testing over the next day.
Overall it was a pretty painless experience, and the only mechanical tweak my 2012 has required so far. I give Honda 5 stars for how it was handled - no muss, no fuss, no charge (truck still in warranty at 35,700 miles)
