The easiest way to determine if you have an oil leak in your car that's noticeably visible is to pull your vehicle over a clean spot and observe underneath while it's running for any dripping or oil build up. If you suspect a leak in a different area that may be hard to detect you can purchase a special additive that when added to your oil allows you to shine an ultraviolet light and will glow brightly where oil is leaking even for small leaks. Alternatively you could bring your vehicle to a mechanic and have them check for oil leaks.
