I have a 1998 MPV with 2 oil leaks that are driving me crazy. The first leak appears to be on the passenger side, behind the valve cover-but above the valve cover level. I change the valve cover gasket and grommets. The oil leaks down and falls on the exhaust so there is a burning oil smell. The second leak is somewhere in the front of the engine around the power steering unit. I recently had the front seal and timing belt relaced.

I suspect this is a 3.0L V6? Check the camshaft plug at the back of the cylinder head on the side with the problem. The is also a 'blind plug' and the PCV housing at the back, top of the passenger side valve cover. Change the o-rings at both of those as well. O-ring are available at the dealer. Let us know how you make out!
