Really dumb question (oil on tar?)

Um yea. This is a dumb question but I want to know? What does oil look like when it drips on the tar? I have a small leak somewhere and it doesn't look like anti-freeze or gas and it is right near my rad? I have a 89 GXL and need some help.

just stick some cardboard or newspaper or something under your car next time you park. then you can better see what it is. it could be P/S fluid, or oil, either could be comming from near the front.

Examine the Oil cooler lines first, thats what went out on my car twice, i just slaped some hose clamps on them to replace the faulty *** crimp on, works great, and cost 88 cents instead of XX for the whole new hose and clamp. Also, see if you maybe banged up your oil cooler anytime soon, maybe hitting a steep driveway or something. Just some troublematic (is that a word? ) places i have had. hope this helps, and have phun.
