I have a 1997 Dodge Neon 21,000 miles. :shock: A few months ago I noticed small oil stains wherever I parked. Now the small stains are big stains. I am now beginning to smell oil, but the car is not burning oil.
I plan on putting the car in the shop but would like to know if I need to prepare myself for some hefty repair bills.

Cam seals are fairly common. May be a leaking head gasket. may be something else. Prepare for a possible $800 bill but ANYTHING is possible.
