I know its not a lot of oil but I'd like to stop it before it gets any worse. in case anyone cant tell the pic is of the area right below the distributor. Should I get this fixed asap or is not a big deal right now? sorry im still a noob when it comes to mechanics :dontknow:

Check your oil weekly/bi weekly. Are you burning a quart or so every month? From the picture I can see it doesn't look detrimental, I probably loose more than that a month in blow by oil loss. Lol.

I lost about a quart in 2.5 months,

my first guess is the valve cover is leaking as that is closest seal with oil. how many miles did you drive in that 2.5 months? assuming over 1000 miles i would say not horrible oil loss. valve cover and/or even gasket is cheap and fairly easy to do.

Ihave battled this oil leak befor the most likely spot in the front od intake to block seal
must remove intake, throw awy the seal that comes in kit and use black silicone

brain must have farted as i forgot that seal.

there is also a o-ring on the distributor

my vote is for the lower intake seal behind the distrubutor. pull upper intake and lower. if you get a Fel-Pro kit it should come with a blue rubber piece for the valley. if not some black or gray RTV will work just as fine. good luck
