My significant other has done that to both of her cars over our lifetime together.
Our Mini has now developed a very slow leak and it was the demise of her Datsun/Nissan Sentra.
That was the first thing I asked, if she hit some road debris large enough to hit the oil pan, she said she did not.

I looked at the engine bay again to check, sure enough, I can see oil pooling just below the oil filter housing and running down the engine block to the oil pan.

Now I have to clear my garage so I can work in a warmer space. I am going to clean the engine oil pan as much as I can. I hate working on a dirty engine.

Thanks guys.
