Just did a 70k mile tune up
Just did a tune up at 70k miles and noticed after the car sat in the garage i had a small oil leak. Could a faulty seal on one of the plugs causes this and should I recheck them?
There was no leak before this and its the only thing I can think of. It was a small quater size spot drip.
Any suggestions or ideas??

^This a lot of people overlook the drain plug gasket. If you think about it, this gasket is taken on and off more than any other gasket on the car and in time doesn't seal as well as it once did.
