Ok dude. You are new to cars. Best idea is to
1. check your oil level on the dipstick under the bonnet, engine not running, on level ground. Top up if required. If you dont know how to do this, check the owners manual. explains it all.

2. run car and check for leaks. If it is dripping out badly when running then best to get it towed, if not either
A. Drive it to a mechanic
B. Drive it to a mechanically minded friend and let them have a look at it?

There are many potental problems from a oil leak. including destroying suspension bushes, causing car accidents from oil on the road, smoke and making your under side of your car look like shit. Best to get it sorted.

Hope it helps.
