It usually isn't a bad leak, just annoying. KIA uses an aluminum one that is reusable up to like 4-5 times, might see if a local autoparts store has something similar. If not try going to a KIA dealer and getting a pack of em, they shouldn't cost too much.
Thanks for providing advice. I must apologize as i'm not entirely versed with cars.I'm finding my way around and trying to learn more in the process.

Here's what i discovered. There are occasional oil leaks, not alot but enough to start wondering (it's light brown in color). I would drive the car for 2-3 days and not have any leaks. Today, while washing the car, i left the engine running for a good 5-10 mins while having the gear placed on drive. when i came back to have a look, i saw two patches below.

Would this warrant a trip to a mechanic to get it looked into?

Please advice
