An oil leak is fairly easy to spot. A common sign of an oil leak is smeally smoke coming from under the car near the engnine without an overheating senrio. This is oil dripping onto your exhaust pipes. Sludge near the head gasket is also an indicator of an oil leak, as the oil will attract dust and become gritty. Look for sludge under your engine on the frame. If you want to know if your leak is bad enough to warrent fixing, check the oil level every 500 miles or so. If you loose more than half a quart of oil in 3000 miles, you need to get it looked at.
