Where is the leak?

A common leak area is around the timing chain cover/camshaft seal. Try a search.

It's junk. You certainly risk the most-deffinate chance of wrecking and causing terminal injury to yourself while driving AT ALL. Please get a hold of me so that I can do you the favor of taking this death-trap off your hands. No need to give me any money, your well-being is enough payment for me...

Look at your oil filler cap. If suspect, toss the cheap plastic stock cap and get a real metal one.
