i agree with caw but it's more likely to be power steering fluid buy an engine cleaner wash the motor then put a piece of paper or cardboard see where about its leaking then try to find it that way they wont tell you its a mayor repair good luckWhat should i check when i see oil leaking from my car..?
What is the frequency of the leak? What color is the oil? If it's black, it's engine oil. If it's gold, it could be brake fluid which is really dangerous, and if its red, then it's transmission fluid. Check the levels of your transmission fluid and brake fluid. You can ask someone at a parts store (like Autozone) to help you check these levels if you don't know. Oh, it could be power steering fluid too, which is also gold. Check that too.
Put some news paper and catch some of the fresh drip.





(1) note the location where it is leaking from


(2) note the color of the fluid.





And come back here and ask again.








Good Luck...
