First ck the engine oil to make sure its not over filed. Ck the drain plug on the engine pan. The plug has a gasket. If this is your leak, buy the gasket and replace it the next time you change oil. Is the oil filter leaking? Sometimes they are not installed correct. Ck the oil pressure sensor, they do leak as time goes on. Last, a engine gasket. You need to clean all oil off the engine and body. Then start looking for that leak. Oh! Ck the trans and make sure its not leaking on your exhaust. Good luck Mark

Clean off all the oil and then watch where it comes from. The valve cover gasket may be leaking. Be careful not to spill any oil when your adding oil to the engine. Check or change your PCV valve which could affect oil leakage.

Is the check engine light on?
When was the oil last changed? Was it over-filled?

Valve cover gasket, have it checked.
