It's great to get sight unseen opinions here in the forum, but nothing beats getting under the car as a first step.

And my loose oil pan bolts presented as a very slow leak at the center rib on the oil pan....

I like rock-it man's answer.
But assuming the OP does not do the "get under the car thing," I would suggest putting some cardboard under the drip area and replacing it each day. If it drips approximately the same amount, you have a leak. If it tapers off, may be the result of a sloppy oil change. This kind of drip will disappear pretty quickly after a drive or two.

the exhaust muffler will also drop some black water out through it's weep holes that can look like an oil stain on concrete.
