Is this oil?

Touch it. What color is it? Gold/brown is oil. Red is power steering or transmission fluid. Brake fluid is amber.
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
I hope to god that much oil didn't leak from your car though
This. It's tough to say without better pictures, but that would be about where the water drain is for your A/C evaporator core is (passenger side of the car, quite far outboard). While you're driving the A/C will cool and freeze water out of the air. When you park, it thaws out and the water drains off.
Have you been using the A/C lately?
If that's the case and you've driven through some snowy conditions, that looks to me like the kind of nasty road sludge/ice combo that tends to build up in wheel wells and then melts all over the garage floor.
In my experience, oil doesn't tend to run like that unless it's a massive leak.
Yeah, it usually gets packed in pretty thick along the wheel well, especially if you uh... drive... not slow through the slush.
Or wipe it up with a napkin. If the napkin just smears it around, it's oil.
It’s a pretty old car and I had a fuel leak earlier in the year. The parts are just rusting out and disintegrating.
Just to add, your A/C runs whenever you use the "defrost" selector on your heater. It dehumidifies the air, helping clear fogged windows faster. It's not necessarily a cold weather thing.
This is one of those technically correct things but your AC isn't gonna get cold enough to condense water out of the air in Toronto, in March. The water from the AC is basically a summer time thing up north in NA.
replacing fuel lines can be a fair chunk but probably not as much as an oil pan
Also oil leak can mean you were running the car without oil which could have fucked up something else, gas leak just means you ran out of gas earlier right?

In certain ways.
If you drive over a lit cigarette there's a greater chance your car will literally burn instead of causing major engine damage.
But it won't explode! For the most part that's relegated to the film's and the teevee.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
the good news is cigarettes are actually pretty terrible at igniting gasoline (or more specifically gasoline fumes because liquid gasoline just puts them out like a pool of water does)
