Oil at the bottom of the car but not leaking
 
I have been under my car the last few days and noticed plenty of oil that I can wipe away with my finger under the pan. But oil is not leaking which I would notice on the garage floor. Any idea?

Spillage from oil changes? I always spill shit from the filter when removing it.

Common leaks are OMP area and front seal, and oil filler neck gasket....

Clean it off nice...drive it for a few days...and see where it's coming from

I had front seal issues that only puked oil at the track....street driving it never leaked.....

probably just seepage not a leak.

OK I will clean it up and monitor over the next few weeks.

From my perspective...oil on the outside of the engine is a leak.....

Engines shouldn't leak....well at least before they are 10 years old :)

you'd be suprised how many manufacturers dont consider "seepage' a leak when it comes to warranty claims.
