Check your valve cover, your gasket might need to be replaced. If not, it could be a bad cam seal. Take out the top two bolts holding the timing cover to the front valve cover and pull the timing cover back (dont break it). Shine a flashlight in there to see if you can tell where the oil is coming from.
You should start by explaining what type of engine you have (4/6 cyl.), how many miles, etc. The more info you give on on your car, the better we can help
Let us know what you find out.
