Angry oil leak...

the reason im asking this is that before i switched to synthetic i never had an oil leak problem.. ive been watching it for a couple of days now and left my 8 sitting in the garage in one spot for a length of three days and it has about 2 drops of oil underneath it.. not directly so im speculating it could be an oil line. just wanting sme thoughts of what it could be from our community..

peace
matt
