Default Oil leak
So I noticed on my garage floor small oil spots. I’m going to the dealer next week for an oil change. Anyone know what those oil spots on the garage floor can be from?

Put some cardboard down to see where it's dripping from exactly. Could be motor, transmission or power steering oil. What color is it? Front, back , middle of vehicle?

What's the Y/M/M of vehicle, and the mileage? What you are describing could be a rear main seal.
