sooooo needless to say, upon further looking at a more detailed picture after you guys mentions around the alternator, i found that under the cover the entire fron end of the motor is covered in oil. seems as if i was origianlly wrong in saying it was not a gasket around the valve covers because thats exactly what it is... well some seal around the front end is shot from what it seems, im pretty aggervated, ive only had this car since may of 2012 and im ready to just throw it in the garbage... this is the 3rd things which has been wrong with it, and i believe i was a victim of the dealership on this one. bought a lemon... so anyways i am deciding on what to do now, fix it or get a new car... if so then i will have some wheels and suspension to get rid of...

thanks for heads up guys. glad i found this now instead of being stranded somewhere in the near future.
