Ok well I know what the other prob was with my "engine" I have a loose pully, but of course, I had to have a new one take its place, it just wouldnt be my car, w/ out any probs! So I need my valve cover gaskets replaced, but I keep putting it off, and of course oil is leaking, but Ive never seen it leave oil on the ground?!?!?!? I went to look for a max today at nissan, and when I left, there was a trail coming from MY CAR! I put in a quart, but I also put in a quart like 2 wks ago, the dipstick I guess said it was sorta low....What now? Btw, what about driving to the meet? I plan on going....Is it probably the gaskets???

The valve cover gaskets are made out of thick rubber. All you may have to do is tighten the screws holding the cover. If you are using much oil, keep a very close eye on the oil level. You can get greatly acclerated engine wear with a low oil level.
