today at school me and my friends wanted to check out the lara so i popped the hood and i never noticed it til my friend pointed it out.
There is a minor oil leak coming from the headgasket /engine block area.. it seems to just come out a little bit but it's not dripping anywhere and no oil hitting the ground..
Anything helpful would be nice.
I rarely push the car unless if to merge onto highway traffic. other than that my needle is almost always under 3000 rpm. any info/suggestions/solutions?

thanks.

Clean the area where the potential leak is to see if it is, infact a leak and also to see the severity of the leak if any.
