Default Re: fluid found on garage floor

Ninja, are you sure it's leaking from the oil pan? I don't think I remember hearing anybody mention an oil pan gasket leaking before.
I would take the belly pan cover off, and slide a big flat piece of cardboard between the front wheels. Start the car up and run it until it warms up, then go back and check it for leaks a few hours later.
I think it's probably more likely that it's leaking from a valve cover gasket and running down the side of the motor. Or from around the drain plug.
Check around the oil filter housing as well.
It's probably not anything major.
Good Luck
