It was dripping on the exhaust mani and I also had a bad gasket on my exhaust where it connects to the exhaust mani.
If you have a lot of oil leaks you may want to stay away from synth oils which will clean out the gunk. Some have additives that will keep your seals in good shape. You could try a heavier grade of dino oil or like the other guy said just use synth oil because it is the best protection for your car and when you need major work done someday get the seals redone and you will have no leaks and no burning oil with an engine rebuild. You could try a heavier grade synth oil like 15w50 Mobil 1.
Cheers, KB.
