Default 2003 DISCO HSE (OIL LEAK)

Is it normal after getting the oil changed for a small amount to leak (few drops it seems), just had it changed over the weekend and it never leaked before now I see a couple of drops on the driveway last 2 mornings.

I would not characterize as normal, but you may see a drop or two after an oil change depending on how well your shop guy cleaned up the mess. Have you identified where it is coming from? Check the oil filter and the drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan. If you see oil in one of those two locations it most likely is the source. Check to make sure the oil filter is tight (hand tight only). If it is coming from the drain plug make sure it is snug as well. If it still leaks then you may be due for a new washer on the plug.

Just some thoughts, I am sure others will chime in as well.

Like it has been said, the most common problems are from loose filter or drain plug. It could be the oil pan gasket, but this is unlikely unless high mileage.

You need to crawl under the tuck with a flash light and see what you find.
