Where to find Oil?

Car is leaking oil. lots of details. please help me find out where from!?

• So, the car is a Nissan Sentra 1994 XE, 1.6L engine. there is oil all over the right side (passenger seat side) of the engine. the center of the engine and the left side are completely dry so it's nothing around there. I assume the leak comes from the top right side, or at least from somewhere higher than the belts (it's because of the belts that i find oil all over the right side of the engine, the oil leaks on the belt and it gets sprayed around) doesn't leak much oil at all if i don't use the car, so I assume it only leaks when the car is on high rpm! I assume it is not the head gasket because my coolant is really really clear, and i think that at least a tiny bit of oil would finish in the coolant if the head gasket was broken, but, like i already said, the coolant is really clear. i tried to clean all the very top of the engine, just to see if it was that gasket on top, but i can't see it leaking from there (but maybe i gotta give it more pressure?) what other parts, spots do i have to check? and how? thanks a lot!!

• Answer:

  You might clean the engine with a high pressure sprayer, let it dry,then start the engine and watch to see where it is leaking. You may have to rev the engine a bit but it should show you where its leaking. It may be something as simple as a valve cover gasket. A head gasket can leak oil without getting into the oil.Be sure to clean the engine very well.
