OH NO, OIL Leak WAS:(Re: [Shotimes] Room and Board At convention)

[Chris Riedl]

Could it be a cam seal?  This sounds like my oil leak problem, except I
think my car's had the leak since I got it.  It makes the engine bay smell
like oil (and the smell changes very soon after the oil is changed).  I'm
thinking about investigating further when I get a chance, but for now I just
keep tabs on the oil level.
	I checked my oil senders and there is no oily residue on either one.
