H E L P!!! ***Leaking Oil Bad news***

Well I went to pick up my lil brother from church......on my way I noticed my Oil light was kinda blinking ever so often.....so after i pick him up I goto Wal-Mart where I get the oil changed (I don't mind paying the money to do it) Well I thought they screwed up...I had it done a month ago.......not putting the oil-filter on right...something......well The guy checks it out....Low on oil...he thinks it's a gasket...he take it in changes a gasket.........He takes it in and puts more oil in the car.....well ten minutes later he's like sir could you come down here......he takes me down the stairs and shows me the gasket the replaced....that wasn't the problem....the oil was leaking form some where else.......It wasn't gushing out but he reccomended I don't drive too far......I don't know if it's cuz of the RVM Pulley I've had.....had it for about 6 months now......I'm freaking out.....I'm supposed to have my Flowmaster put on this weekend too....I don't want this to ruin my week.....Anybody have any opinions on the subject.....I'm taking it in to a mechanic tomorrow morning.....Hopefully it's just a gasket they couldn't get to.....or something who know??????

yeah you need a little more details. but if its from the chain side it could be, crank seal, oil pressure sensor or the timing cover may be leaking.

The crank pulley and the oil filter are on opposite sides?

News to me.


If its from the right side, it may be a lot of things. Was I leaking from the pulley? What did he show you?
