I have a 1998 s10 4x4 4.3 litre vortec with 81000 miles.I have my oil changed by someone else every 3 mos.So I found a small fresh oil drip off of the driver side of my splash guard, It's like coming from the front of the engine block on the drivers side.Is this common with this type of chevy engine? Would it be allright to try stp oil stop leak or let a mechanic look at it?

I wouldn't use a stop leak myself. My guess is the oil cooler lines, better to have it fixed right instead of potentially complicating it with snake oil.
