So I bought this Toyota w/25,000 miles on the odometer. Couple hundred miles later I noticed a thin line of oil on the head near the sealer. Wipe it off and within 500 miles it's back. Is the head gasket seeping oil? No smoke and the car runs fine. No oil in the coolant. What you guys think?

I was down in Clear Lake, TX on July 4th watching the fireworks when I noticed a single bright red light moving across the sky. This was not a red beacon, it was larger than that and a bit fuzzy (for lack of a better word). When he got directly overhead he turned off the light but I could still...
