So I've had a leak for a while and now it started to get worse, I decided to look and see where it's leaking from. I figured it would be from the valve cover gasket because the head gasket has been replaced not too long age and there's oil right under the valve cover
I open my hood and i find this:

The engine is cracked from the bolt to the left as you see
Any solutions for that other than replacing the entire engine?
The engine has 139k on it

Thank you

Try some JB weld before you go and pull the engine out. Videos of success all over YouTube.

Thank you!
i'm gonna go ahead and take the valve cover gasket out and see how that works out
i'll keep you updated!

So i took the valve cover off today.
There was oil all over the vc gasket, not even one tiny spot was dry
it wasn't cracked though
I'm installing the gasket tomorrow, ill see whether the leak stops or not.

So i repaired that crack and replaced my VC gasket
I'm still getting a leak, I looked on passenger driver and engine bay and there's no leak from there. The car is leaking which seems to be from the back of the engine( almost in the middle of the car)
my low oil level light is always on, could that part be bad and causing the car to leak oil?
It mostly leaks whenever i first start the car while it's in park

It looks like just the cylinder head is damaged. That's weird, I've never seen a head crack there.
