I don't drive my 2001 Avalon often because it is a rattle box. But it was out of the garage today so I could blow the garage dust into the neighbors yard (just kidding). Anyway I discover a good size puddle of fresh clean oil on the garage floor where the Avalon sits. Oil was changed maybe 6 weeks ago at the idiot dealership in Raleigh. I go there so I have receipts for when the engine sludges up. Anyway I check all fluids and everything is up to level. I let the engine run for a while and check underneath for oil but there is no sign of a leak at all. So I have only 2 theories. One is that there was a leak after the oil change and it sealed itself.... highly unlikely. The other is that the dealer poured fresh oil someplace on the chasis and it drained onto the garage floor. Also unlikely because the dealership is at least 12 miles away and that is assuming I came straight home from it which I doubt. Any other theories?
