Sorry about the crappy picture. It looks like a valve cover gasket. Seller wants $900 for the car, not sure if it’s worth it.

Every other rubber gasket on the engine is probably leaking too. Typical.

yea pretty simple fix if it’s just that. Nothing else is wrong, it has no check engine light but I’m going to scan it either way, suspension is good. Automatic 145,000 miles. I’ve had nissans and bmws, but I’m just looking for a cheap reliable family car now

900 seems decent, obviously try to get it for less, check the brake and fuel lines as well especially if you live in a area with rust
