I have discovered and oil leak on my car, but i have been underneath and cannot see any drips. But my drive has patches and so does where i park at work. It seems when i drive it does not leak. but when i park up it does as none on my road. The light is on on the dashboard but put fresh in and it goes off. the amount of oil on the oil stick is normal. I put fresh in. What could this be?

we have no information on this car as it is not sold in US, but if you can clean engine off especially on sides, front and back if possible. then see after if you can see traces of it. Although oil can come from transmission, power steering as well as coolant will look like oil. next time put oil on finger and rub together to see if you can get a color out of it as that will help.
