Got my usual oil change today and I was told that my oil was really low. I asked if it had a leak and they said there's a very slow one not coming from any lines or anything, but oil is on the bottom of the engine. Any others have problems like this? Any suggestions/solutions before I take it to a toyota specific shop?

knowing that, i'd jack it up, get it on stands, and with the brightest flashlight you got, Try to find the point of origin. That way, you know what it is, or we could tell you with provided pictures.
