My car is running fine and its great. However when I got it serviced at the mechanic, he found that there is a leak in the engine area. The cover seems damp wit oil and the back part, I forgot the name of that part, valve cover is soaking wet with oil in the back and a little bit in the front. Any info on what I should do? I believe I have had this thing already forawhile now but never really affected the car at all. Just to be in a safe side, should I get fix even though theres no effect on the car? X_X lol its gonna run me 250 though

It sounds like you have a valve cover gasket leak. What you should do is clean the engine bay and wait and check on it. Watch to see where the oil is coming from. If it is only coming from the valve cover then it is simple to fix with regular tools. I would say to try cleaning the area first and see.
