Hi Suzanne :)

It sounds like it could be one of a few different things. I would start by checking the oil drain plug and for a lose oil filter. Make sure you check these with the engine off.

Here is a guide that will help you see how to fix the oil leak

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
