alright, it's leaking oil terribly. It must've leaked about 2 quarts in 3 weeks or so. Oil was changed about a month ago. It's coming out where it's circled in green. Covered where it's red. Any ideas what this might be or suggestions? I don't feel like taking it to mechanic yet as money is tight.

Very easy change, remove the spark plug holders at the top and stick a flat head into the cover and gently slide up to remove. |
