If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: oil under the hood!!!

Replace the round plug that goes where a distributor would sit. (Search for the DIY on this.) Dirt cheap and easy.

Clean off the mess. Clean thoroughly.

Drive it for a while (weeks)

See if that fixes all of the leaks. Re-evaluate at that point..

I had those same leaks. I replaced the Camshaft seal and valve cover gasket and fixed the problem. Easy to do, won't take long.
