Is engine oil leaking from the bottom of a car bad?
I came home from work a few hours ago and I went back out to my garage and noticed a brown-black puddle under my car—it was engine oil. Is engine oil leaking from the bottom of a car bad?

Sorry to hear that, but it’s good that you noticed the leak. If your vehicle loses too much oil, you could end up with pretty serious damage to your engine, as well as the radiator or HVAC system.
Faulty seals and gaskets as well as oil pan leaks are common culprits that can cause engine oil to leak from the bottom of your car. A mechanic can take a look at your vehicle and help you find out where your oil leak is coming from and how to fix it.
