Yeah just focus on the exhaust manifold, valve cover, and intake manifold. But dont be sprayin water near the distributor cap in fact cover that up with a grocery bag and a rubber band.

Your civic has a baffle inside the valve cover where you pit oil in. The baffle is a plate that normally runs your PCV system but also blocks most of your oil from escaping out the oil spout. Just make sure to put the oil back in that you lost and be prepaired for a little smoking and a little stink in the air. Its just the oil burning off.

Yeah I don't know what any of those things are. I guess just wipe like crazy whenever I see oil and hope it doesn't go kablewey on me?
 
The distributor cap:

You have 4 plug wires that are going into the Valve cover (the valve cover is the big rectangle shaped plate the has the oil filler cap) Follow those back and they end at a black plastic box. Thats the distributor cap. Wrap that in a grocery bag. You really dont want to get the black box wet.
