I have an engine oil leak. The valve cover gasket has been replaced about a year ago. When I add engine oil, it lasts about two weeks or less, and my garage floor under the car is wet with nearly fresh oil. I want to repair the car, but am fearful that it will cost more than it is worth. Any ideas of what the source of the leak may be?
