Leaky or normal?

Was taking a few pics of the underside of my car earlier and got these:

Bear in mind the car was dry, and I've not noticed an oil patches left on the drive. JUst wondered if this is normal?

Can you touch it then smell it?

Have you just filled it with oil? Who services it?

No it is not normal for a car to leak oil. Depends on age of car and mileage and the abuse it has taken.

I know its not normal for a car to leak oil, its not leaking per say, its just stained black?

The cars an 06, Renault did a service on it before I purchased it 4 weeks ago (so they said, it had service due on the dash when I test drove it and now it says another 17k, and the book has been stamped) and no I havent just filled it with oil

I would go back to the garage. I take it is still under warrenty. Maybe they have spilt the oil from the filter.

Yea it's still got just under a years warranty left on it, should I take it to the one I got it from because there's 2 dealerships closer to me than the one I bought it from?
