I finally took the car to get an alignment check. Lol the previous owner had the tires inflated to max pressure because he thought the tires were supposed to be that full. *facepalm* They also said the toe angle was way off. While on the lift the saw oil had been leaking and accumulated on the bottom of the oil pan.

I took off the engine cover for the first time today. Once that was off it looks like any other motor, except I can see I'm gonna need a good set of Torx bits. Oil is leaking from the passenger side valve cover. Fortunately it doesn't look like a hard fix. Oil level was still fine and color looks good.
