Oil Light came on. Inspected immediately and noticed oil stains just below valve cover. Added 4 qts to make the three mile trip home and all added oil was already gone. Don't see any other areas of leak. Is it possible that it's just the gasket?

Hi jamiealford, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Losing that much within a 3mi. Distance that's too much-check the front and rear seals of the crankshaft, oil pan gasket, oil plug-also try tightening the valve cover down-When its idling do you see blue smoke on the back or while driving-let me know
