Re: a few little problems

-Replace accessory belt
​​​​​​-key fob or lock button on door?
-Clean oil off. Inspect daily to try and pinpoint source. Does it drip while it sits?

i don't have a fob, button works because when i push it it flashes the light on the heated mirrors for some reason.

oil marks near distributor, fixing that. oil marks on the block but not near any sources, looks like a wave almost coming from nowhere. quite a bit on the oil pan too.

look under the dash for aftermarket alarm stuff and hacked up wiring. That light doesnt flash on stock cars.

Fix the known oil leak, clean up the oil and check again. You would be surprised how much air can get churned up in the engine bay and coat random things in oil.
