i was out driving in this truck yesterday and it ran fine it wasn't missing or cutting out of anything. i went to fire it up to today and it cranked and cranked but it would sputter a little and die. I opened the hood noticed that their was oil trailing from the front 2 sparkplugs to the exhaust manifold/headers but the back 2 where clean. but when i had someone else try to start it i didn't notice any oil coming out i can't get a compression test done until about next tuesday or wendsday. please help this is my first and only car.

and fyi it acted like it was flooded because the starter would have a hard time pushing the pistons then it wouls turn over and try starting for about 5 turns then have trouble.

any help would be great.
 
ok i got it to run finally i think it was just flooded but i'm concerned about the oil. i don't want it catching on fire going down the road. does any one know of any typical oil leaking areas on the 2.0 other than the valve cover. i've got that one pretty much stopped.

thanks
