Mr. Surgon
hey I recent just brought a 2003 infiniti g35 and I show a couple drop of oil on the ground but I don't know if its a oil leak
Its probably leaking where the oil filter attaches to. But yes, find the leak first.

After you check what others above have posted, there are more than a dozen bolts that bolt the oil pan to the engine block. They may be 10 mm bolts but I'm not positive of the size. There is a gasket between the oil pan and the engine block. Some of those bolts may have loosened over time due to engine vibration. Check all of them using a 3/8 in drive socket wrench with the correct size socket to make sure none of them are loose. Be careful and don't over tighten them or they'll break. It is possible some of your oil leak is coming from there?
