im in Somerset, NJ. i drive about 40 miles everyday total. im leaking oil in the spark plug area, but that should be the oil seals at the bottom though. right? I just replaced my oil pan gasket and cleaned out the oil pickup screen since it was clogged. now the car runs "bad" and rougher than before. i thought there wasnt enough oil coming to the top so i cleaned out the pickup but could i have went wrong somewhere?

eversince ive gotten this car, the temp gauge in the cluster never worked (always rested at the bottom). could that've possibly played a roll in the roughness of the car?
