Finally got my Civic yesterday, been driving that around city and bit of highway, got home, park the car, then, found some oil mark on the ground and underneath the engine today. I'm wondering if that is normal? has anyone experience that as well?

or take it to a mechanic.

not normal, you have an oil leak. Get it inspected

Sometimes its assambly oil,when they put your engine and gearbox together there parts that are oiled and it comes out normal,it should have been wiped down during PDI inspection.unless its dripping on the ground or wipe it down and recheck it,im sure it nothing.But mention it your first service.

hum..... just had check on the ground, if it's assambly oil, it should have been drip dry after the whole night of sitting there, but I moved the car and now had another patch, might there be another reason?

ok, finally get my internet back, and finally, they have found the fault, the oil is from the engine, sipping down from the weldings of the oil sum, would it cause anymore further damage to the car?? it's been half a month now.

Nope, wont cause any problems (unless you have been driving around with your oil pressure light on)
