In the past couple of weeks I have had a few problems with my car. The last time I got an oil change I was told that the plug for the oil was the wrong size and that is what was causing me to lose oil and I had to get it changed. I had somebody change it and it was fine until a few weeks ago when I brought my car into my mechanic to get a new radiator. Ever since I got the work done on my car, there has been a lot of oil dripping onto my driveway. The weird thing is that when I check the oil, the dip stick says that I am good on oil. The other thing that has been going on, is that I can feel/hear a clunking sound coming from under the front end of my car. This usually occurs when I am stopped and then accelerate while I am driving. It also happens sometimes when I am making a turn. Do you know what could be causing this?

Check trans fluid level, the radiator has rubber trans lines running to it, may not have tightened clamps tight enough. As far as the clunk could be a motor or trans mount, control arm bushing, sway bar link, just to name a few, the best thing to do would be to get a complete front end inspection looking for loose or worn out steering/suspension parts.
