Re: Would like oil leak fixed
 

Which engine is it? If the V8, then sometimes oil leaks out the rear of the
intake manifold gasket. DIY carwash is a good way to remove oil, if you
don't get the ignition system wet.

Re: Would like oil leak fixed
 

The local spray-n-wash is a good idea. If there is one really near to your
house, you can spray the motor down with Simple Green, then drive to the
spray-n-wash and clean it all off. The Simple Green will cut all of the dirt
and crud and leave your motor clean enough to eat off of, you might even be
able to cook a burrito on your commute to work.

Once you get it cleaned up, and still need a mechanic, I have used Jeff
Sheckle in El Cajon.

And, if you do get the ignition (distributor) wet, then use WD40 on the
inside of the distributor cap.
