Here are some pics I took just to be more specific and also to have everyones expertise. I didn't go under the car yet today to clean or anything but I will tomorrow. Also I'm under the miles it should be to change my oil but not my much. I should change soon.

Have you been able to pinpoint a source? Front or back? I can't really tell where that is from the pictures.

[edit] oh wait, there's the oil spot in the pic from above. Looks like it's coming from the front of the engine? Have you moved the car since the leak started?

yeah front. I think near the catalytic converter. And no I didn't move the car either.

maybe you should put a cardboard underneath the car and see what color the oil is and to see if there is fresh leaks. oil leak in the front could possibly be a coolant leak. for a faster fix, you can take it to a mechanic to have them check it out

edit: have you check the coolant fluid level and the engine oil level? are any of them low?
