Ignore lightly oiled areas, all engines sometimes "splash out" some lubricant.
However, you should pay attention to obvious stains and smudges of oil under a stationary car.
The engine should be cleaned with a steam generator or engine cleaner.
After a test drive of several kilometers, it will be possible to determine the place of oil leakage.
Possible Leak Locations
