Congrates...
You got a part of one of the four answers..
This one would be correct. Your answer finished out with this here answer..Your oil pan gasket /or oil pan drain bolt washer may be leaking..

Now we need answers #2, #3 and #4...comon guys and gals lets play with this...these are good learning experiances for everyone.

Thanks for your answer 6thGen..

Yes, there's another correct answer...Maxst2 hhoooraayyy for Max

Here is another answer for my own question...
** Oil Prssure Sending Unit (switch) leaking, this is one of the main causes of the Puddle Of Oil under Car Thingy.....

And 6th Gen was close on the 4th answer...it is that your engine oil seals are leaking...something else to watch out for is when you pull a plug and its getting a load of oil on it...This is caused by a leaking $2.19 cent seal

Later..WheelBrokerAng[8D]
