Unhappy I have an oil leak around the valve cover.

i took my car in for an oil change and they did my A service. I have 13237 miles i still had 1900 miles until A service so they went ahead and did it. I told them about oil coming down on the side of the head so they have to order a new valve cover gasket. Not sure how long it has been like that. I didnt feel comfortable driving the car so i have a 2002 Toyota Camery as a loaner. Just thought i would share my trouble.

How much oil did you lose during the 13,237 miles before the first oil change?

Was it more than a quart?

I notice a drip under the engine, its a pink fluid. Currently have 5,500 miles on mine. I better check my fluid levels.

i never noticed oil leaks w/ my clk, but i am one of those paranoid people that changes their oil every 2500 miles.
