yeah...i just recently bought my car as well and i am having some oil leaks, especially on long drives because i commute back and forth to school (good 45 min drive), and it seems to come out from the top engine bay leaking down to the oil pan....but not sure exactly where it's coming from. lots on the passenger side near the tire. I just changed the valve gaskets, so i know it can't be valve gasket....can anybody help? [it's not the cv boots either]

i had that for about 5 months on my 1.8. It finally clogged it self but it is leaking from the valve gasket. At least thats where mine was at on the passenger side.

I had the same oil leak problem. I was frustated seeing every morning that oily mess on my driveway. I got several quotes from auto repair shops to fix the leak but they were so high that I could not afford it..
I solved the problem installing a cheap Car Diaper. If you write to my e-mail: julimar@tampabay.rr.com I gladly will tell you were to buy a Car Diaper. I have one installed in my Toyota 93 more than 7 months ago and now I am happy.. no more dirty mess in my driveway nor on my friends driveway.
