I got an oil leak, but i havent checked for where yet because i lack to tools, i smell it and i found a small puddle under my car...wheres the obvious places for leaks on our cars?

the easy one to look for is around the valve cover, it should be noticable if thats it. also look around the head gasket, they seem to leak a lot on these cars. mine was leaking from the area on the rear passengers side of the block, around where the alternator is. it was also leaking from the area where the CPS is in the drivers side of the engine. your best bet is to jack the car up and get under there w/ a flashlight. oh...and my rear-main seal was leaking to, thats hard to spot. if theres a lot of oinl clean it all up as best as you can, then drive it around for a day and re-inspect. thats what i had to do because i literally had about a quart of old oil everywhere. :rolleyes good luck!
