Hey guys,

So my check oil light came on the other day in my 92 ex. I got under her and found im leaking oil pretty bad from somewhere in the front of the engine. I cant see exactly where its coming from though. It seems to be leaking on the front drivers side behind the power steering pump. Is that where the head gasket is? or could it be something else? Any help would ge greatly appreciated.

Could be the valve cover gasket which is not uncommon. Degrease everything check to see if you can tell where the leak is.
 






Will do tonite. On a side note, a few days ago I had started and it had a real rough idle and almost stalled. I got on the gas a little and it seemed to level out. It the valve covers are leaking could they cause that?
