    yeah, i should start doing that, i dunno, im going to check like the drain plug and what not once it is freaking dry outside and not wet so i can actually get under the car....so far if its leaking crazy amounts of oil i couldnt be able to notice it yet since the oil light hasnt come on or anything....and its not like when i drive the car around and the park it, oil is dripping, its like it has to settle or something and then it will start dripping....its weird i dunno

    take a piece of clean cardboard and slide underneath when you park overnight...it will give you the general area of where it's leaking from instead of trying to guess from underneath the car.
