Hello, I was told by like 10 mechanics that I have an oil leak. However, my oil stays full on the dipstick all the way to the next oil change. Could I be leaking and if I am how is it not showing on the dipstick? I do have an intake manifold leak but it is an air leak.

If its a slow enough leak then it wouldnt show low on the dipstick.

Some told me that it is a valve cover gasket and someone thought it could be an oil pan gasket then someone thought head gasket but I kinda dismissed that one

Your best bet is to clean all the oil up and put in oil leak dye in your oil and then look for the leak with a dye light.
