2003 is300 oil leak (valve cover gasket already replaced)
My 03 is300 has 150,000+ miles I bought it knowing it had some sort of oil leak and replaced the valve cover gasket it helped somewhat but I still notice the engine is leaking oil. It seems to be coming from the front of the engine but I have no idea where. Any ideas?

If it's coming from up top it's likely a camshaft seal. Take the front cover off, start the engine and rev it a little from under the hood. The pully's will usually sling a little oil when revved if that's the culprit. Been there.
