I agree with Bill. I also have a 97, 318, 4x4, and I was out tinkering
under the hood yesterday and found at least 3 bolts on each side that hold
the valve covers down were extremely loose. Maybe check these out.

Have you tried tightening your valve covers. I had a sending unit leak and
fixed it. It started leaking again, in exactly the same way but it turned
out to be a loose valve cover instead.
