So I didnt have a crazy night out drinking, its my engine puking the oil... (sorry for the sarcasm!)

Anyway, it started about 3 days ago. A few small drips of oil. then I used it last night and this morning there was a bigger spot, so I took my daughter to school, and came home and started looking at it, its hard to tell where it is coming from. It is not the oil pan, as it trails up the block, but I can't see where from. Possible head gasket? the engine has near 200k on it, so I wouldnt be surprised.

I don't know what I should do now. Sell as is for cheap, or part it out (not sure there is too much to be made doing that)

I really don;t want to put in a rebuilt motor, then I will have more into it than what it will ever be worth. and I was going to get a different car anyway (better fuel economy)

so any ideas? I have a few pictures.

OH and 1 of the battery covers is missing, not sure if it blew off, or if it rattle loose on the bumpy ass gravel road I go on to get to my wifes parents place.
