My 2002 s10 crew cab has a leak but the oil is coming from the right side down to the oil drain plug and I cant figure out what is causing the oil leak. I just replaced the pcv thinking that would help since it fixed my brothers leak. But I am lost please help.

If you are looking at a head gasket job then it's about $12-1500 depending on where you live.
