Read my post... this is a known problem with the 2006-2008 R18 engines and should be covered under the special Honda extended warranty.
Contact Honda corp. and/or your local Honda dealer before you do anything.

there is a tsb for this (08-044), but i dont see any reference to an extended warrenty specifically to address the issue. actually, the tsb states any repairs out of warrenty are to be a goodwill from the dealer only, and not mandatory.

2006-2009 Warranty Extension for Engine blocks - Honda Civic Forum
Here is a thread about it, it's 8 years unlimited miles as it's been stated. Whoever owned your car before should have gotten a letter telling them of the extended warranty campaign. I hope you read this before you get this done so you don't have to pay for anything you don't need to!

That was my 1st thought. Nothing that you did caused it, it's a known and documented factory defect. The 2006-2008 R18 Honda engines are known to have block cracking problems, ususally under the intake manifold.
I belive that Honda has extended the warranty to 8 years for this problem. Get in contact with Honda about a warranty repair.

Glad I could point you in the right direction. Thanks goes to Honda for standing behind their product.

Hope everything works out for you!
Good assist Potenza! And great info for those of us who were not aware... I have an '08... Hope I won't need it though.

Most shops should have a pressure tester, maybe just ask if they could test it real quick? Should take literally 10 seconds.
