Had the oil changed a month ago. Small puddle in the driveway... twice... took it back, they tightened this and that... Now oil light came on?? What the heck... Any clues from you brains out there??

let the car sit, check oil level when it is cold. does the oil still leak?

As usual, this morning a small puddle maybe4 to 6 inches in diameter. Not a huge amount. Looking at the front of the car it's about a foot right of center and about a foot back.

My son said on the wait home from work the oil light came on and some type of sound.

Have you been checking the oil level? If you're in the States, the oil light is for pressure. If your oil level gets too low, it can also trigger the light. So if you've been losing a good amount of oil and its triggering your light, that could be a problem. Especially since you now are getting noise associated...

Maybe the oil plug gasket needs replacing?

Take it somewhere else have them lift the car, clean the oil off and check for leaks if they don't find one immediately.

Check your oil regularly before running the engine until the problem is solved.

Local shop said too much oil (new thread started today) took a little out, now no leak but oil light on!

that would make me so mad. So they added to much?
