soo my car leaks little drops of oil on the ground when my car is parked and not on i can see little drops on the ground in my driveway. And its all over the bottom passanger under the car. I took it to the shop and they said i have a cracked head and it will cost 600$!!! to get fixed :cry: rite now my car runs good no misfiring i dont notice any smoke and i just replaced my valve cover gasket 3 days ago because i had oil on top of the valve covers. shoudnt having a cracked head have more problems than just an oil leak?
 
How exactly did they come to the realization that it was a cracked head? Take the timing belt cover off. Is it shiny with oil? Can you see oil behind the cams? Try taking off the little plate that covers up the bottom of your flywheel. Is there oil in there? Root around for the problem before you shell out $600. There's numerous places where oil can come from.
