I had my brother do the tune up on the car before i began driving it. he noticed the oil pan gasket was leaking and that the previous owner had stripped out the oil plug. he advised me to change it, and im planning on it but i havent had the time/moneyt to do so, but now there is oil all over my engine and hood where it shouldnt be

RE: engine oil
Oil all over the hood and engine is usually cause by a missing filler cap.... whatever it is should be VERY obvious to be able to splatter on the hood. Have you done a thorough inspection?

RE: engine oil
going on what Joel said, pop the hood and start the car. look for oil that is shooting out.

Also could possibly be the PCV valve. But yeah if it's splattered in an area startt he engine and look for the gushing splattering oil.
