An "O" ring can be purchased at your local auto parts along with your oil filter. Your oil filter screws on top of your oil cooler. Mine leaked as well. A new "O" ring and filter screwed on tightly solved my problem.

remove the filter and see if the seal was stuck on the engine from the old filter its a very common thing to happen when this happens the old seal blows out

you may have a oil filter with a bad gasket or no gasket replace the oil filter

Crank shaft seal or oil filter loose

You have a broken seal that is seated around the tube where SPARK PLUGS go thru. Fixing it is easy for a novice mechanic, just remove the VALVE COVER and u will see the SEAL around the tube, clean the area around the tube so that it will be oil free, replace all 4 seals, and put in a new one w/ a light coat of silicone sealant,clean also the valve cover gasket put some sealant. Put back the cover and ur done! Hope that makes ur day! taaah!

There is a gasket that has to be replaced,it can only be found at the dealer.Remove the evap box next to the battery to be able to get to it.

this is realy a mechanics area of expertise not for you to be doing your self cause of its location

When the engine warms up it should be fine.
Check that you are using the proper oil. Also check if there is a winter oil recommended. Sometimes winter oil is a bit lighter weight and can help keep the ticking noise down or gone all together.
