Need help figuring out what's leaking?

Ok, i have a 93 camry... i4... i think i might have a few leaks in my car...

one day, i noticed 2 patches of liquid on my garage floor. They were within 20cm of each other.

So, over night i put a blank white piece of paper over those 2 spots.

The next morning, there were 4 spots. 2 on each piece of paper.

Each piece of paper had 1 big spot and 1 small spot. I'm not sure if this is a right assumption to make: that the small spot is from the same leak as the larger spot and that somehow a few drops dripped somwhere else.

If that is the case, I assume I have 2 leaks? (Please correct me if you think i'm wrong)

Anyway, I need some help figuring out what is leaking... Here is a description of the position of the leaks:

the 1st leak is near the front passenger side tire... if u step about 1 foot inward from the tire, the leak is perpindicular to where the tire is flat on the ground or a little to the front of it.

The 2nd leak is about 10-20cm further inwards from the 1st leak.

From the white blank piece of paper, both liquids where kind of brownish to blackish...

this is the best i can describe the leaks... any ideas as to what it might be?

if you can tell what kind of fluid it is than it would be much easier, such as barke fluid or engine oil? check and examine where the leaks drip from.

sounds like engine oil....could be two leaks, but could also be one leak that's pooling on the frame or hte axle area and then dripping down in two spots
