Ok, Nissan is closed until Tuesday and with my work schedule next week, it's going to be tough to see them but I have a question for you guys.

My car is 4 months old, new, 2001 SE. I have an oil leak that just started like Thursday of last week. In about 3 hours, it leaves about a half-dollar size mark on the ground and typically only happens after I have driven it. If it's just sitting there for a day it doesn't happen.

What could be causing this? I'm majorly PO'd at the fact my car is only 4 months old and has an oil leak. Oil was changed two - three weeks ago but didn't see this problem until late last week so I don't think it's an oil change issue.

Anyone else ever have this problem?

Have you gotten under the car to see where the leak is coming from? Are you sure it is oil?
