Hey everyone I think I might have a small oil leak as I see tiny spots where I park. I am at that oil change mark (3000 miles) and im about alittle above 3/4ths on the dipstick. Which does that tell me over that time that the oil was been slowly leaking out alittle which is why it looks like that? cause I dont see symptons of oil burning(knock on wood) thanks and I will be getting the oil leak fixed any advice would be great thanks and god bless

How many miles on it and what oil are you running in it?

Where is it leaking from? If it is messy and sprayed around underneath, clean it up, go for a short drive, come back, and take a look.

Mine has 161K on it, had a slight leak. I put in some Valvoline MaxLife 10W-40 and the leak went away.

But could the leak be why the oil looks spotless low on the dipstick

Could be.

It isn't abnormal for vehicles to use a little bit of oil also. Combine that with leaking some and it can all contribute to low readings.
