i have an oil leak, seems like 2 spots but i'm not sure, there close
together on the drivers sideish.. im starting to get concerned, it
seems to be eating a quart of oil every 2 or 3 weeks.. i am comming up
on an oil change in a few weeks.. what is causing this? can i fix it
myself? and how much should it cost to fix if not?
please anyone!
thanks,

It kind of depends on where it is leaking from.  Visual inspection of the
engine, top and bottom, can maybe help you to zero in on the source of the
leak.  A clean dry paper towel can be used to spot check for fresh oil, a
sign of a leak.  "Driver's side-ish" can be almost anything.  If the crank
pulley is wet, maybe the crank seal is leaking.  I like the valve cover
gasket as a source of a leak, because it is easy to fix.  Unfortunately, not
all leakers subscribe to that philosophy.
