Default 1998 Dodge Stratus

I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus, 2.4 L. I have to what seems to be a oil leek, it checked the oil plug,no leak, and checked the oil filter and has no leak. All under the whole bottom half of the oil pan and looks to be on the axle too. I looked on the top of the of the engine were the spark plugs are, some oil seems to be protruding from out to the bolts where it holds the cover to the top half of the engine. We keep adding more oil, it keeps leaking. Many of the bolts on the bottom of the engine has oil all over them. I don't know if there is seal leak or something else. Can someone help please.?If you need picture's, let me know.

Check out the head gasket and the lower gasket between the blocks. if you have a 2.0 or 2.4L engines these engines have another block that only the munufacture puts together. and is sealed with a special type cylicone, Once that starts to leak forgetit my friend get a new engine I know i bought a new one see the pictures here.....>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>
