When does the oil spill?
When draining the old oil out?
When pouring the oil in?
Does it leak from the base of the existing filler?
Do you free pour from a bottle?
Would a funnel help?
Would a funnel with a short piece of tubing added to the funnel's spout help?
Be more descriptive please.

It works best if one person tips the mower and another holds a container to catch the oil. There's about 13 oz to catch so even a plastic yogurt container can be used.
Get an aluminum pan like Linctex above said, or a plastic cat litter pan like I use. Grab an empty 20oz pop bottle and cut the bottom off to use as a funnel. Then just hold the bottle over the fill plug as you tilt the mower on its side above the litter pan.

Aluminium pan can be as that you can find intended for grilling...aluminium foil shaped as a plate
Honda engine only holds 12 oz. of oil. Any shallow pan would work.
Any funnel would also work. I use a 2 cup measuring cup (nylon) to fill with.

When you drain the oil on a GCV Honda, you remove the oil cap and tip the mower on it's side to drain. Due to the neck being somewhat short, oil spills onto the deck of the mower and ground. The op wants a way to prevent this from happening therefore is looking for something to screw onto the filler/drain neck or wrap around it. Yes, maybe a little light on details however I'm not sure why it was difficult to get the gist of the post.
