I changed my oil about 2 weeks ago, checked it today...empty. ? Is there a common area that these cars leak oil from? I have only had the car about a month. I park in a dirt drive, but Ii haven't noticed anything.

Oil pump seals will just absolutely PISS oil at an amazing rate when driving, barely leak when idling, and then leak NOTHING when the engine is off, and they're very common to leak on the 5S-FE.

The other symptoms of the oil pump seal being bad is that-
It will continue to drip for a while as it runs out the timing cover
The oil light will stay on a long time when you start the vehicle because the pump loses its prime.
