Had the the head gasket, spark plugs and pcv valve replaced two days ago. Still have three small drops of oil on the garage floor. What could be the cause? The oil Drain plug ,oil filter and oil pan don't look like the problem . Drops are about a foot apart expect for two of the drops are a few inches apart
When the head was removed to replace the head gasket, likely oil was 'spilled' down the sides of the engine block. If it wasn't completely cleaned, it may have accumulated on the frame cross member or other components below the engine. I would clean up the drops on the floor and watch for additional evidence for a couple of days. If they keep appearing, take your car to the shop that did the work and have them check it out for you.
SOURCE: Oil Leak
Take the car to a car wash and power wash the engine. Do this ONLY with a cold engine. And be prepared to have problems with it starting as water get's into the electrical components. Take some WD-40 with you to spray inside distributor caps, on spark wiring, etc. to get the engine running again.
Then check the engine weekly to see where the oil is coming from.
SOURCE: valve cover gasket leaking
When you buy the valve cover set, it will include the spark plug well "O" rings. Simply remove the valve cover and on the underside of the valve cover, you'll see the "O" rings that need replaced and you'll see exactly how the valve cover gasket itself fits.

your need a valve cover gasket set. It comes with 4 rubber seals for the spark plug tower so oil does not leak on the plugs. Common problem, Simple to fix. Takes about an hour

Oil can leak of anywhere under car. You need to look at everything to determine where oil is coming from. Could be valve cover gasket, could be a seal, could be oil pan gasket, could be loose oil filter, etc. You have to look for area with wet looking oil, and start with that.
SOURCE: oil leak onto garage floor
Did you just get your oil changed? If yes, then it may be from some spilling during change. If not, wipe off the oil drip and keep an eye on the leaking area to try to determine where it's coming from.
