Nissan Maxima Gas Problem

03 Maxima
I bought this car new and have never had any oil leakage . But I went on vacation and it sat still for a week and when I returned it had a small puddle of oil under the motor area . I got under it and it appeared it was coming from the oil pan . It is due an oil soon . Can you give me any advise ?

You need to find out the exact source of the leak. It could be anything from the valve cover gasket to a rusted through oil sump.
