Ok...First...just look for where the oil is coming...if it's all dry above a certain spot...then the oil is coming from below...oil spreads a little...so stick with the middle of that wide slick.
If you've got a lot of dirt built up...then clean your engine really well...CAREFULLY power spray it..stay away from electronics...then...let it dry...don't drive it though...then...check your fluid levels...slap some powder on that bitch...drive around a bit...look for leaks...let it cool and then check fluid levels again (make sure you check fluid levels after the drive at the same temp as before the drive...fluids can expand a little once heated)
Oh yeah
*slaps forehead
Don't...put...ANYTHING in your motor oil BUT motor oil guys...
Think about it...you put something in that seals leaks...what it this going to do to your oil journals? THE SAME!!! seal those puppies right up...at the very least gum up and slow down your oil flow.
Same thing with power steering fluid and tranny fluid and your gas tank too! How this stuff gets sold I have no idea...what's next...puting Elmers glue in your engine?
Those octane boosters...yeah they cause a sooty buildup on your spark plugs...less spark...less heat...less knock...octane...same. That "fuel pill" just clogs up your filter...nothing else...there was a big report done by several folks on not just fuel additives...but oil additives...if I find the site I'll post it...basically...even pro-long is crap...you can testify all you want...I used to as well...but science is science...and the facts are...this stuff does more damage and does no good.
Don't even put the STP oil treatment in your oil...that is basically nothing more than SUPER thick oil...like 100 weight...again...common sense...thicker is not better...
And...don't jb weld any oil related parts either...not a good idea...
As to jiffy lube...well...when I was with Toyota...JL gave us 2 out of every 3 of our engine rebuilds
seriously...I'm not kidding...
