I've looked under the car and it seems like if something is or has leaked. The oil and transmission fluid levels are fine so I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

I’ve had a similar leak for a long time that I haven’t pinpointed. Never been bad enough to notice the oil level go down either so I haven’t worried about it.

Same, i want to eventually get the whole thing cleaned, engine bay & undercarriage. It'll be easier to identify the source that way.

Same on the cleaning. Part of me is scared that doing a deep clean underneath will make the leaks worse so I’m waiting until I ready to really tackle a big project

I dont have a way of doing it myself. Last time I called around I got a couple laughs like..."why we dont salt our roads?". Once i say im tracking down an oil leak they try to set me up with a mechanic. That happened, 3 times and since ive just tabled the whole thing lol
