What are the possible problems from seeing these drops of oil on the ground? How difficult is it to repair?

Hi there,

This will depend on what has developed a leak, Is the oil black? (Engine oil or red? Power steering / transmission. Ideally it would be good to have the engine /transmission washed down and re inspected in a day or two, to locate any leaks. This would be best done on a car hoist to easily see the under side of the car.
