The engine oil is low and dirty and should be changed. The valve covers are leaking oil. The oil pan is leaking oil. The engine is seeping some oil from the underside. There were no drips at time of inspection. This area should be cleaned off and rechecked to verify source of leak or leaks.

There are components within the engine bay compartment that show evidence of rust and/or oxidation, see pictures.
