That was a problem with my car. One day I found black oil drops under my car and I was thinking, how did this happen? The day before, I had been to the service and changed my oil, so I was wondering if there was a problem with some pipes when I changed the oil in my car. I made a decision to go back to the service and ask about my oil change. I asked the guy who did my service to check what was going on, why I had a leak. After the service man checked under my car, he told me that there was another problem with the transmission. I had to go back to the second service where I had it done a couple of weeks before. So, that was a problem with my wheels, and there was a leak under my transmission. It helped me a lot. After I made the decision to go back to the service where I had my transmission changed and asked them to check it out, these couple of questions and this solution helped me out.
