My wife's car is leaking oil. I think it might me a gasket? Does anyone know about these cars and gaskets?

Like any other car they tend to leak oil from time to time. Sometimes it's a gasket and at other times it's a seal.

Drive your wife's car to the nearest Home Depot and ask the first person you see if he would like to work on the car. If the answer is yes then let him at it. You can't do any worse there than you will here.

You could just take it to a good mechanic and have the problem fixed. I supposse that would be too difficult, though.

I literally LOLed at this post.

I had a 90 Tercel and let me tell you that those engines eventually just start to break down lol.
