Why is my Ford Ranger leaking oil?

I just noticed a small puddle of oil under my Ford Ranger and I'm concerned. What could be the cause of this and how should I address it?

There are a few possible reasons for an oil leak in your Ford Ranger. It could be a damaged oil seal, a loose oil pan, or a hole in the oil pan due to rust or debris. It's important to get it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage to your engine.

Check the oil level regularly and keep an eye out for any sudden drops. If it's a small leak, you can try using a stop leak product. However, if the leak is severe, it's best to take it to a professional mechanic.
