Default OIL LEAK issue......

1998 Honda Acoord LX 4-dr

Went to the store yesterday evening, cameback and there was a basketball size sploch in my driveway. When I left for work in the morning the car was parked a half car length in front of this sploch and there wasnt a drop anywhere when I backed up. I get to work and check my fuids around 3pm, everything looked fine. Left work and stopped by the store on the way home and smelled an "odd" smell(not too sure on this because I'm thinking I'm possibly just paranoid). When I get home I find out that its my oil and not tranny fluid, dunno about brake or power. So I take a look under the car and see nothing, when I left work nothing had leaked out anywhere.

When I bought the car in April of this year it was running regular motor oil(Castrol or Mobile 1) and about 3000 miles later I decided to go with Synthetic(Full) and have changed it 2 times since the inception. The car has 68000 miles.

Stumped?

Did you read ANYTHING I posted? Read again and you will see that I looked under the car. What a waste!
