have a grease monkey shimmy on underneath and just snug the pan bolts, if this is the source. Got to know more than 'oil small spots on garage floor' could be from anywhere, but we'll start at the oil pan/transmission pan.

Common sources of oil leaks are the valve cover gaskets and the crankshaft seals.
