Yeah man get that gasket changed, you will be amazed at how much oil you can hold afterwards lol this happened to me, my indie shop charged me $120

you deff have a oil leak... most likey it can be your valve cover gasket.. had mine replaced

Oil filter housing gasket needs to be changed along with valve cover gasket most likely. Don't wait as it can start to leak oil in your coolant and vice versa. Neither of which are good

We charge $170 for the labor. I forget how much the gasket set is, but it's pretty cheap. Also check the o-rings on cooler lines: they can leak as well.

edit: looks like you don't have a cooler.
