Damsel in distress

Welcome aboard Molly, great picture! Love it.

The oil drain plug is the best, first and most simple place to start. Then as said, look at the oil pan, all around it as well as the engine block and take note to see if there is a hole in the oil pan or block.

By way of your description, this does not sound good at all. Crossingmy fingers for you!

By the way, what enginedo you have in the car?
