I checked my driveway this mornin and I saw drops of oil. When i lifted the car and looked under, I noticed that there were small drops of oil on the screws of the tank where u empty out the oil:dunno

also sometimes when im drivin and I step on the accelerator I hear this nasty screechy noise. I noticed that its coming from the engine, but could it be cus of the cold weather:dunno :dunno

I just want to know whats going on before I take it to service:bawl

"the tank where u empty out the oil" - do you mean the oil pan? If that's where it's leaking then the drain bolt could be leaking or there could be a crack.

Screeching is usually a belt issue, probably unrelated I would guess.

^^^ XOC.

Try tightening the drain bolt and changing your belts.
How many miles are on the car?

agree with above, you've already pinpointed the exact location of your oil leak; we should all be so lucky.

Screeching sound definitely sounds like a belt issue, open the hood and try to determine which belt is causing the squeek. Easy & cheap to replace a belt......good luck
