I have a small oil leak that drips down over my "B18C1" designation (it appears to be coming from under my engine block and rolling down the side). I clean the minor spillage up on a daily basis, but it keeps coming back. I only noticed it after I replace my oil 3 weeks ago. The problem is, I bought Lucas Oil Stabilizer (good stuff btw) after already filling up my oil (about 5 quarts). The attendant at AutoZone told me to use just half of it b/c I shouldn't overfill my tank or something. He also told me that I was supposed to substitute it for 1 quart of oil, so I'm running slightly over 5 quarts I believe. I don't know if the problem is too much oil or what, but the stop-leak doesn't seem to be working too well. When I check my oil, it's slightly above the "FULL" dot. Aside from the leak, the substance has helped with engine idle and noise, but I hope to god there's no terrible side effects of overfill. What might it be, guys?

 

It's probably just your cam seal cap that's leaking

 

That is exactly what I was thinking.

 

is that serious? if so, how do i go about fixing it.

 

No. It is a common problem with B series motors.

It is a relatively easy fix that involves changing out the cam cap to a new one with fresh o-rings. While you are down there, a new valve cover gasket would be a good idea too.
