I have remained confused! Plastic housing passenger side underneath the car?

Are you sure it's oil? There could be condensate from the A/C lines, which could mean an A/C service visit.

I advise that you check all you fluid levels to make sure that everything is where it needs to be. If you not opposed you might want to take it into a dealership to be diagnosed.

yes the plastic cover on the passenger were you can remove it like your changing the serpentine belt ,so did some searching on the ecotec motor and in that area were i see it is likely camshaft seal common leak on or motors.. Must been sometime and leaks slowly ..

With the mileage you have, are you using a Hi-Mileage engine oil ?

They have additives to help with seals & etc..

Well i had use dino oil for sometime and switch to synthetic blend my last oil change hoping to help other then that she got 165.000 miles and engine runs great.. I would like to find out what is involve to fix it as far as repair,anybody has any insight let me know...:D

I still have not figured out what you are talking about! Are there a puddles under the car or just random spots under the hood?

The cam shafts are at the top of the engine no seals, the only "cam shaft" looking seal is on the other end of the engine and is part of the valve cover gasket. The A/C compressor lives under the alternator. What "drain plug" are you talking about?

I am confused, and I give up. I may try again when the translation algorithms get better.

Did you have the leak BEFORE you switched to Syn-Blend ?

hurst2001: If possible,take somes pictures and post them up. Without being able to see what you're talking about, We folks on this forum would just be making a wild guess.
