1998-more than usual oil drip from firewall side of engine??

[emarkay]

3 or 4 drips a day. PCV looks OK...
Rocker cover gasket, Head gasket (!)? Other things?
Nothing obvious from underneath, nor from above. Hate to take to dealer for dye and (thus wallet die), especially if is a known issue and simple fix. Ideas, thoughts??

Thanks!!

Probably valve cover gasket. Could be the crankcase/oil pain gaskets. Could be from the steering rack. 100% sure it's engine oil? Do you notice any change on the dipstick?

With the engine running, see if there's any smoke coming off the exhaust manifold. If not, check the the rack, as RCA1186 said.

It's motor oil. Dipstick may be showing a bunch of drips-a-week.
Is somewhere below the coil packs. Surely the sump level is LOWER than the oil pan gasket... No smoke, 50-70 PSI oil pressure generally; just a new leak.

Thanks!
