Default Should i be worried?

Was underneath my 96 trans am today and noticed a decent amount of oil on the undercarriage in several places. There is no spots on my driveway, but should i be worried? And if so what may be the cause.

Not really. Try to get the car in the air and get some brake cleaner and clean everything off.

Then tighten every oil pan bolt and any other bolts you can get to. Sometimes the gqaskets leak over time if the bolts loosen over time just a little bit.
