Clean the engine and keep an eye it every couple of days to try to pinpoint where it comes from.

Is car low on oil?

Did you spill some? Does it leave drops on the ground where its parked overnight?

Lots of drop spots on The driveway.

Didn't spill any.

Get yourself a DIY UV oil leak detection kit off Amazon for about a tenner.

Its easier to pinpoint a leak with UV dye than cleaning everything and waiting and watching.

Do them engine stop leak products work

Before jumping the gun, make sure it's an actual leak.

Find it. Fix it.

OP, if you cannot find the oil leak standing in front of the car yourself then its very unlikely that anyone here on the internet is going to find it either no matter how good their intentions are, they can only guess. You really need to bring it to a mechanic at this stage before it becomes a serious or expensive problem.
