Hello.Does anyone have advice for this situation please? Yesterday I opened the hood and found traces of engine oil, so something is apparently leaking.I did not see the obvious reason. What are the options?

Welcome. But come on now, you've gotta give us more information to work on. Which year and model is it, petrol or diesel, location of the oil. Are you sure it is engine oil. What colour is the car? How long have you had the car, when was last oil change done?  What type of oil do you use?
