If you have a leak you will not necessarily notice spots under the car at the parking spot. The plastic pan captures most of the leaks and it gets "vaporized" when you drive instead of leaving obvious spots. Take a look at the engine with a flashlight, close to the oil filter assembly, all around the head gasket, and down, under the car, open the oil drain flap and see if you can see oil at the main pan seal, or close to the transmission ******ion (hard to see without removing the entire plastic pan, secure the car on stands before going under ).
