Small engine oil leak
I just bought a 2007 Honda Civic LX and when I brought it home I noticed a few drops of oil on the ground near the front of the car. There wasn't much that leaked but it did worry me. Any information on what it could be and if I should be worried or not would be greatly appreciated. Also would like to know prices of common repair problems.

Depends what is above the drops. Could be lots of things. Definitely do not put off finding out the cause. Take it to a reputable shop if you can see where its coming from.

It is a little low. I don't know enough to reliably say where but it is around the front passenger side and only drips a little bit after I drive.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Small engine oil leak
What did your mechanic say he found leaking during the prepurchase inspection?
You DID have a prepurchase inspection done, didn't you?
Slide under the car and seee what's leaking
