Thanks, I'll just take the car home and buy some oil to replace any that falls out and try to find a cheaper mechanic. I appreciate you looking that up for me.

Dumbest approach ever. Just find someone who is actually smart and ask.them to help.

Your experience here will be much better now. Still not pleasant, of course, but tolerable.

They don't mind cars or couches on the front lawn, what's an extra oil stain or two?

FFS.

Actually, when running your a/c or defroster you might see water coming from the evaporator tube.  Totally normal.
Also water coming from the exhaust after start up is totally normal also.  
just sayin

Yes, of course. Condensation or whatever. 

I was always taught though that if the puddle looks suspicious, you should get it checked out. Any idiot can tell the difference between a little water spot vs OIL. And, if you can't tell, then you pat your fingers on it, and then if it doesn't smell like water then you need to go get it checked out. 

I took auto shop in high school (one of two girls in my class). I wasn't talking about water.

It wasn’t a puddle and keep in mind when I get in and out of the car the stain was under the car.  It wasn’t obvious to me until the car was actually gone and the space was vacant. Now I know to check. 
I know I’ve taken good care of my car, I’ve had it for 18 years/187K miles. It’s just time for a new car. 
They guy said at some point something was over twisted and that is why I need a new oil pan. I said, well why did I pay for a new gasket kit and oil ring thing if the leak is in the oil pan? 
I just think I’ll be chasing one problem after another. 
Thanks for listening to me complain and I appreciate your advice.

It's called not being stupid. Most women I know are not stupid, and they take care of their cars by at the very least taking them in to get regular oil service and scheduled maintanance.
