Default integra ls oil problem

my oil was changed 1000 miles ago and theres almost no oil in the car. no leaks from the bottom because no oil stains in parking lots. no oil stains around the head. is it that my car is burning oil like crazy? is my engine going to give out on me? this is the only oil spot i see that is leaking

Pull them plugs out they gunna give u an answer. If ther extremly oil fouled then ur looking a a motor in great need of a rebuild. Ur rings are proly gone if youve burnt that much oil in a 1k

It looks like it leaking from that bolt in the middle of the pic. Mine does it too. Maybe try tightening it. Dont strip it. Did u check ur oil when it got changed? Maybe they suck. If it runs the same u shudnt trip

WRONG!...regardless of how the car runs...your losing that much oil, that fast...it is something to worry about and i highly doubt the car lost almost four quarts of oil through that little bolt/gromet on the valve cover...you have bigger problems then that tiny leak

Thers an idea let go tightening bolts. Ur head is aluminum bolt is steel. If you do tighten it make sure to torque it properly to insure that it doesnt strip and that the valve cover stays properly seated on the head. But I garunetee thats not ur problem.
