    Yeah, it isn't even leaking enough to leave oil spots under it yet. I was less than a half a quart low when I checked it and I have gone about 4k miles since my last oil change.

    If it's on the timing cover; you can clean it up and use some black rtv. From what I've read, it's not , under pressure, just oil flowing back to the pan.

    I have 2007 with 140K and just had to do the timing chain cover. if that is what it is and you have a lot of miles, have them do the water pump too.

    When troubleshooting oil leaks, check to make sure the PCV valve is not clogged as well. Crankcase pressure will create an oil leak.
