Where's it leaking from? Best way is to replace the gasket or seal where the leak is at.

And its oil? Probably your rear main seal.

Black would indicate running rich, but grey (and/or bluish) would mean oil. If it dissipates after the vehicle's been running for a bit, that would indicate leaky valve seals. But, if it continues on you have other issues.....oil control rings, most notibly. That's most common.
