I have a 95 Camry DX, 120K. It's had a slow oil leak for the past year - about 1/2 qt per month. It's leaking from the front, next to the front passenger-side wheel. My question is: Is it bad to just let it leak? Does it damage the engine and it's performance? Thanks!

Assuming it leaking from the crank shaft or oil pump seal. It may lead to timing belt to breaks or worn faster, that will lead you to more expensive repairs.

You should get it fixed. Gary __________________ Don't worry about what other people think....as most of them don't!
