what could i do about minor oil leaks
whats the best way to fix them i did notice a very tiny oil leak under my car

please help
thanks

 

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

 

well im a big noob when it comes to cars but the leak is coming from the area approxiametaly under my middle console maybe drivetrain or transmission area i dont know what its called

thanks
Matt

 

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.
