    About a month ago my car was in the shop getting the intake gasket manifold replaced. They had gave me a oil change too in case some coolant got into the engine. About a week later I noticed that I was leaking engine oil so I took it back and they checked it out and they said I had a faulty oil filter or something like that. I dont remember what they had said but they said it shouldnt leak anymore. Last week I noticed its leaking again, but its not real bad. After letting my car sit about 8 hours at work, I'll notice 4 or 5 spots about 2-3 inches in diameter on the ground. It looks like it would drip about 1 or 2 drops every 20 mins or so. What do u think is the problem? I have a 2002 Grand Prix GT with 100,970 miles.

    Check your oil drain plug. If its wet with oil.. wipe it off... then check it later that day. If it's wet again... you know where your leak is.
