pull out the dipstick, wipe the oil off with a rag, put it back in and pull it out. if its between the markings on the stick its safe, if not, you need to add some and check for leaks. Our car has a plastic cover underneath the engine, so leaking oil may be collecting on that cover rather than dripping to the ground.
