If you are already using Mineral Oil then it is base gasket time but do it alone and don't ask any advice on this forum or they will make you spend all your money on "while you are in there you might as well..." stuff....stay focussed, do not deviate young Skywalker Lol!!!!

If it's just a little oil, you can probably wait till winter...
