that would be your cam cover gasket - better get that taken care of fast!

its going to involve removal and replacement, btw

Out of the spark plug wells? ooooo, that could be a mess if so. Better jump on that gasket set quick wherever it's coming from.

Hope it' something like the oil cap leaking, mine did. Bought a cool looking replacement on ebay for like 5 bucks.


Could be spraying out of the spark plug wells like dood above me said. I once had some oil spray out of the pcv. Try to find excatly where the oil is coming from. And keep an eye on your oil levels!
