I have a bit of the same problem as well. You can buy this stuff from you auto parts store that you put in with your oil and it glows under black light or something. Clean off the engine - top and bottom and then run it - hold the light to it and find exactly where its coming from and how much is coming out - that should help you differentiate the minor leaks from the important ones - be sure to check your oil level every so often too just to make sure you're okay. I carry a bottle of oil in my trunk just in case.

I had a similar problem before, I replace the valve cover gasket, problem solved.

I was leaking massive oil last week, After looking at it, it looked like it was comming from the oil filter, well I jacked the car up and had my dad watching the bottom of the car, then we noticed it was from the housing, I pulled off the housing and saw that the old gasket was torn. so I went to the dealer and got another O-Ring Gasket, for the oil cooler, replaced and "Good To Go". e-mail me if you have any questions since I just recently replaced mine
