Is this near the nose of the car? There are drain lines there that just bring water down. Have you checked/felt the "puddle" and confirmed it is in fact oil?

yes this is near the nose of the car, it right in the center where the center undertray is which my car is missing. I felt it, it clear and oily. I want to know what these 2 hose lead to and what it for. Thanks for the help

One hose is your radiator overflow line. I'm inclined to believe that is what your concerned with. Check your anti-freeze/coolant level. Also check what color it is. My guess is that it is a 50-50 mix of coolant water. It can have an oily/slippery texture to it. Also, try rubbing your fingers in the puddle and smelling the liquid. That should give you a better picture as to what your delaing with.

You are right Mkorsu, that liquid leaking is my coolant. What have cause my coolant to overflow like that? I recently have my timing belt and spark plug + wire change. Would that have cause it?

My sc400 had a leaking radiator.
It did the same thing.. I would drive it park it then notice alot of coolant under the car.But it would not leak for very long.. Kinda hard to tell but take a good look at the plastic top of the radiator where it meets the aluminum part.. my radiator was comoing apart from there.. 150 buck new radiator plus about 1 hour of my own labor.. no more coolant under my sc400.
