Roger - had a similar concern myself, a thin layer of oil on the underside of the car.
Turned out to be the Power Steering reservoir boiling over after spirited driving or a weeping union at the bottom of the power steering reservoir. The reservoir is at the front LH corner of the engine, as you stand in front of the car.
I've topped mine up with Castrol Dexron III auto trans fluid from Halfords, and no more leaking.
Its worth a quick check.
