Well, the only thing right behind the alt. is the intake manifold.

With age sometimes seals and gaskets go bad. There is some oil seepage that is coming from my timing cover on the passenger side, but it's no big deal.

Are you losing any coolant? Does the oil look like a milkshake (oil and coolant mixing)? White smoke out of the exhaust?

Wouldn't sweat it. A burnout won't hurt your car, I have done more than I can even remember...
