Default oil leak?

My car doesnt leak oil normally, but when I had my car jacked up to change my brake pads, lots and lots of oil was leaking, but once i had my car leveled again it doesnt leak oil anymore. does this happen to anyone else?

Oil is easily mistaken for transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid or brake fluid.

Assuming this is oil, any idea on the location of the leak? Possible the oil pan plug seal leaking? Or the oil filter with two gaskets? These are the two common points of an engine oil leak.

my 92 sc200 leaks a drop or two on a regular basis, but when it is parked on an incline the increases. i am pretty sure its just the gravity effect on a bad oil pan gasket, i could be wrong though
