Hi all,
As I drove out of my garage I noticed a tiny oil drop on the floor.
After looking underneath the car I could see some residue and another drip hanging on the passenger (left hand side), closer to the front wheel.
I have attached a photo to help explain my scenario.
Does anyone know where this is coming from or what it could be?

It might be power steering being on that side of the car, I had an oil leak on mine but was more central and turned out to be the rocker cover gasket had gone

As that is under the subframe, it could be coming from anywhere,

Looks like oil is getting into the subframe somewhere else. Could be from anywhere.

I had oil from the gearbox when the driveshaft seals went.
