Ok, So I got my oil changed today at my usual place, and the mechanic working on my car let me know that I have a fairly large oil leak. After they filled it, we started my car, and all of a sudden there was a dinner plate sized puddle of oil to the left rear side of my engine. After restarting my Cobalt a few times, the leak was just a drip. They thought it is the Valve Cover Gasket, but didnt have the time to thoroughly check it. I got home, let my car run in the driveway for about 5-10 minutes, and there were three dime sized spots of oil in the same location. I just want to see if people have had this problem or have a different diagnosis. Thanks!

This is going to be almost impossible to diagnose on a forum. Your best bet is to degrease/clean the engine and then put it on jack stands and look for the leak...
