O.K, here we go again. Just got a new radiator put on last week. On my last post, my car was leaking, but I didn't know what it was. Now I believe it is oil. I saw it leaking in the bottom of the car on the passenger side in the front of the car. I got a valve cover gasket a couple of months ago (about a year), so I don't know if its that and the car has not been running hot or anything. The oil is falling into this pan at the very bottom of the car and then leaking onto to the ground (trying to give you an idea of where the oil is coming from, I don't know what you call the pan) and I can see it and the ground when I look under the hood of the car. What do you think could be causing this? How would I know if its something serious like a head gasket?

Check if its leaking from the timing belt area if so
very common oil pump housing gasket they fail
if so then you need to take timing belt out to do the job
also check the oil pressure switch
good luck
