When I got to work today I noticed a puddle of oil under my car. I checked my oil and it was low about 2qts. I moved to a new space to watch the leak and now there is only maybe a had size oil spot, BUT i have not put any more oil in it yet. What is caousing this leak?

Hi there,

Wash the engine down and check usual places, sump plug loose or faulty seal, loose oil filter, leaking oil pressure sensor, rocker cover front and read crank shaft seals, if in doubt get a mechanic to inspect this for you.
