Best Answer

To hunt for the leak, pick up some engine degreaser and clean the engine. This makes it much easier to spot new oil on the block. You can also lay some newspaper under the car and watch for drips. Sometimes you can determine where they come from by lining up the drips with whatever is above.

As a matter of course, check tightness of oil pan bolts, the drain plug and the oil filter. Tighten any suspicious looking nuts or bolts too.
