Nissan Repair: Oil Under My Car, valve cover gasket, power steering fluid

Question
The other day I came home and when I went back out to my car I notice on the floor in the garage two spots of oil by my right front tire and i haven't noticed anything since.Have any idea?

Answer
Ashley,

What model of car is it?  And, how old and when was the last time the oil was changed?  It could be as simple as a bad gasket on the drain plug or the oil filter not being tight.  Or, it could be the valve cover gasket or the timing cover gasket or front seal.  You did not say which side the leak was coming from?  Also, are you sure it is engine oil and not power steering fluid?  Only a couple of drips could mean nothing if the engine oil was changed recently as it could be some oil that was left on the frame when they changed it.
