Possible oil leak?

[WickedSHO]

Ok guys, so we got about 10-12" of snow yeaterday and during the day I went out to clean off the SHO and shovel the spot I was parked in. I started her up and let her warm up a bit before I moved her. While when I did, I noticed what looked like oil droplets on the white snow under the car. I got down there to look and the whole underside was wet, now I am not sure if it was the snow melting off the bottoms while the exhaust got hot, or if it is something worse.
I have not moved it since then, but will check it today after work.

Thoughts?

I'm betting it was the exaust heating up and releasing moisture. Might be a little exuast leak though.

Did you drive it in the snow at all? or was the car parked all the time,what color was the oil? also where was the location of the oil exactly?

 

[WickedSHO]

I did not drive it, I only moved it from one side of my parking lot, to the other.

It was a mixture of colors, brown, a slight green and black....When I looked under the car, it looked like everything was wet...from the cat's all the way back....

Could be accumulated road grime coming off, not related to your car at all.  If all the hoses look ok, I'd keep an eye on it but not worry about it at this point.

Check fluid levels all around?

I am going to check them when I get off work....Didn't drive it in today, took the Jeep. Was too lazy to dig it out again at 6AM.

Good call on taking the truck. My kids our home today with no school so I'm stuck here. Another reason the SHO was on top of our to buy list...awd FTW

I'm guessing  (hoping) that the green was from a prior tstat job, that's getting washed out from the snow.

I am also hoping the same Rich.....I'll update after I check it.

all the schools are closed here as well. But all the kids are out playing in the snow anyways. My stepson and his cousin's couldn't wait to get out and plan in the snow drifts that are about 5 ft high.....

Thank guys.

Had the same exact thing happened yesterday but mine looked more like antifreeze... I checked under the car and cant find any leaks.

I checked my oil level last night and it was fine. I am going to go with it being road grime and left over from the Tstat change. I'll keep my eye on it for now.
