Lately my car has leaked oil a LITTLE bit when it would sit, i figured it was just around the oil pan or somethin, and i was gonna change it once i got back from the convention. well today, i went to get gas, and i went in and paid, and when i came out there was a puddle of oil, and a trail behind me when i pulled in to the pump. i looked under neith and you can see it is dripping from the oil pan, and i think it's sprayin all over cuz oil is dripping from my trans. case, and its all the way over by my cat. is there some type of seals around my oil pan that might of went out? thanks in advance..

If you are positive it is leaking from the oil pan you can remove the y-pipe, starter then the oil pan. Use a lot of RTV to make a gasket around the oil pan. Put the oil pan back up to the block and wallah no more leak. thumb

Check 1) the oil pressure sender up under the number three cylinder and 2) the oil level sensor on the rear of the oil pan, above and to the passenger side of the drain plug. Oil pans usually don't just start leaking like that.
