My car appears to have wet itself...a rather worrying quantity of oil.

This feels like it’s going to be a lot of work, very expensive, or both.

Without having jacked it up and looked underneath yet, I’m guessing e ither transmission or near the back of the engine . See that trail running to the left, toward the wheel well? It’s coming from pretty far forward.

Better that you’re find out about it now rather than on a road trip.

In the garage is probably the best place to find out though. Hopefully it’s something simple to fix.

Ah. Here’s hoping it’s just a oil pan gasket or something else simple.
