I've been noticing my car has been leaking a little bit of oil. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't leak enough where I constantly have to refill my oil, but it is leaving little dots or drops of oil where I park.

Any suggestions on where to look or how to fix?

Thanks

might be oil pan/valve cover/dizzy o-ring.

clean the engine (steam) top and bottom (under carage) then keep an open eye. There is also a blue or red die to put in with the oil so that you may spot the leak.

most likely valve cover?

SEALS SEALS SEALS, depending on the mileage. Same problem here, but was the front engine seals. Just do them all... they are inexpensive in relation to a dizzy oil leak

If it's from the rear of the engine, most likely valve cover gasket.

If it's from the front, most likely the distributor o-ring or the distributor itself. Both my GS and SC are leaking oil from inside the distributor. To verify this, you can see oil residue on the heat shield under the distributor.

How much would it cost to change all the gaskets and how much time?
