Depending on how bad it is you can try using Bar's Stop Leak with seal conditioner. Just add it at every oil chang but never overfill. It helps recondition all seals and gaskets and you can pick it up at advance auto, autozone, checker, etc. Although if its a real bad leak the only way of fixing it is changing seals/gaskets.

best bet is to get some engine degreaser and clean the bejeezus out of that thing and let it run and find where its leaking from. Generally if i remember correctly these engines will leak from both front cam seals and the valve covers. What color is the fluid? Its also possible that the ps could be leaking. Are you low on ps fluid?
