alright, it's leaking oil terribly. It must've leaked about 2 quarts in 3 weeks or so. Oil was changed about a month ago. It's coming out where it's circled in green. Covered where it's red. Any ideas what this might be or suggestions? I don't feel like taking it to mechanic yet as money is tight.

replace the valve cover gasket, about $30 at autozone. theres a how-to on the site i think.

$30??? $13 at o'reillys but since I dont work there anymore I hate that place somewhat.

Very easy change, remove the spark plug holders at the top and stick a flat head into the cover and gently slide up to remove.
