Leaks?

I've been noticing 2 different areas my car has been leaking underneath. There aren't any puddles (the driveway is only stained) and when I look, nothing is dripping so they must be slow leaks. One is smaller and located close near the front of the car in the center, I put white cardboard under it and the next day there way a tiny bit of black/grey fluid. Maybe medium consistency, I'd assume oil(?) But I don't know exactly where it would be dripping. The other leak is a bit bigger and pretty much by the gas tank. Pretty close to the passenger rear tire. It looked dark in color and had a real faint smell of gas (which I have smelled on occasion when starting my car). Can these be simple fixes or dangerous and expensive. Advice please. :/

Leak in front sounds ignorable for now but 1 in back may be dangerous if it's gas or brake fluid. Watch your fluids. Maybe get an oil change from oil change chain store and while there get them to look at leaks for you.
