I have the 1G FE engine. Suddenly I noticed an oil leak at the bottom of the engine near the cam shafts in the middle.I have never experienced this leak because the car had been parked for two days and I only moved it so that my gardener can clean the place. Then I noticed that after trying to pack it back to the usual place, it left oil leaks to where I had moved it. I noticed that this is only occurring when the engine is running. Kindly help me out.

It may be a bad cam or crank seal. If it only does it while running then more than likely that is the problem unless a plug came out. If you pull cover off of timing belt you may be able to see where it is leaking.
