Can you get a photo of it? Most likely it's coming from the front of the oil pan, or the timing chain cover.

i brought it up to the shop i go to a couple days ago they said it was the oil sensor gasket, and that it happens all the time. gonna cost 124.46 to replace, however its not leaking TO bad i guess and im going to wait till my next oil change (abou 2900 miles) just gotta keep an eye on it.

Damn, that is some important info left out of the first post.

Don't let them charge you that much for the thing. It's a 10 minute job. It's a $20 part from RockAuto.com.

Yeah, that's crazy! Mine leaked like a sieve too. You can do it, Michael!

i'd do oit your self look up a chiltons if your not sure on how to do it

problem, i have no way to jack it up and no tools to work on it myself, or i would, i wish i did have the stuff but not only do i have no where to store them, but finding time to work on them with bout 7 hrs of homework a night sucks ass...so i think ill just pay lol.

That advise on the Chilton Manual is a good one. Everybody that has a Sports Car should have one even if they dont perform the work themselves, at least they could understand what the shop is talking about. Maybe avoid being taken advantage of.

Thx for the advice, where would i go about finding this manual?

Basicly any parts store should have a chiltons or a hanes.
