I think my car is leaking oil.  This is my third car and I've never had this problem with the other cars I had.  Can anyone tell me what I should do?  Loccating it?  I'll probably get it fixed at a shop.  How much U think it will cost?

if you're engine bay is clean it should be easy, just find the spot that has a bunch of black gunk on it, and trace it back to the source

talkin 'bout leaking oil, the bolt on the valve cover of my car is leaking oil, between the 1st 2 cylinders and the last 2 cylindrs, i have no idea wha's the torque to put on these guys, anybody have an idea? 'cause i tightened one of my car before not knowing the torque to put it it, the bolt broke... and so i got rid of that car...
