My car leaks oil everytime I put oil in it, whether it is running or not. The oil is coming from inside timing casing. Just thought I would ask if you might know what this could be before I tear apart the car. Thank you.

It could be a camshaft seal, head gasket so if you replace the head gasket with a new timing belt you could replace the belt, head gasket, cam seal, and valve cover gasket, it may be all. Its was really a head gasket leaking car, sorry. Depends on the milege, but behind the cover was usually the cam seal. If the mileage is high, it may be all.
