Ok so im young and slowly learning about everything going on under the hood. I recently had a big drop in MPG and it may be due to my not-so-civilized driving lol. But ive also noticed a little leak-lookin thing goin on (see pics). Could this be contributing to the drop in MPG or could it possibly lead to more problems? Any kind of input it appreciated.

Its probably ur camshaft sensor, causing the problem.

If there is no codes, then it is not affecting MPG. It is an oil leak though so you will have to get the Camshaft o-ring to stop that leak.

that's the cam sensor, i believe. ours looks exactly like this lol

lay off the gas for a tank and see what happens. these cars are no gas-savers, that's for sure.

p.s. any codes present?

if you're buying this car to save gas, you're doing it wrong:

most on here don't drive like grannies on xanax, so this chart is quite accurate.

I get at least 24 mpg all day long.
