So today, I jacked up the car (once again) to check out where the oil is leading to and dripping off of. And I know for a FACT that my oil pan is fine, but wherever the oil is leaking from, its dripping and running off the bottom of the oil pan. Newbie way of saying: It's basically coming from under the very middle of the engine bay.

IDK Bro, Sounds Like A Gasket Gone Bad

Do you think a engine gasket gone bad could possibly cause a "cylinder misfire" because if so, then a engine gasket gone bad is a plausible cause.

As far as the gasket goes, yeah it maybe a bad gaskets, but misfire on random cylinders, sounds like you could use the help of a Scan Tool to find out whats the main cause of misfire and you may even solve the riddle of your oil leak. Did you have check your head gasket?

I highly doubt it's a Head gasket because as far as I can see around the block, there's no oil leaking from where the head meets the engine body. Do you think a camshaft positioning sensor could cause the misfire? or the random stalls?

Ok, thanks. I'll have to replace the camshaft positioning sensor AGAIN. I'm getting an error code for that.
