Hello I was changing the oil this afternoon and noticed oil leaking at the exhaust manifold, Any idea what is the cause, if I should worry about it or just keep adding oil. I used to use a quart and a half every 3000 miles when I ran mobil 1 but have since changed to Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend and maybe have to add half a quart every 3000. Car runs great it has 120000 miles without a problem
