dripping motor oil
I seem to be dripping motor oil from the vicinity of where the oil measuring dip stick is, right underneath the cai. There is oil burning and the smell is strong from driving. The engine makes no noise and when i park the car, i see a drip of oil, not a lot, but there is a drip. What could this be? Could it be a gasket? If it is the gasket, is it easy to replace?

Yes, it could be a gasket and is most likely to be a gasket. But it could be something more serious. No way to know until you get under the car with a strong light and see what is what. If you are not familiar with auto repairs, I'd recommend you have a professional automotive technician diagnose the problem. If the engine runs too low on oil, it will quickly become just a big paperweight.
