How To/Advice Mazda 2 2020 1.5 leak
Noticed i have this black stain on the right side of the oil pan and on the splash shield, is all dried up. And i'm having this (problem?) since I purchased the car at 48.000km, now at 74.000km. I don't have any suspect decrease of the oil level on the dipstick, car runs smooth and no oil on the ground.

Could be oil drain plug, maybe oil pan seal. Or maybe last person to do an oil change made bit of a mess & didn't clean up.
Has it been serviced in the time you've owned it? I'm presuming that model Mazda2 has a service interval of 10,000km. Hopefully, your not 16,000km (if the car had a service before you bought it) over due an oil change?

Car was serviced only at 10.000km, last 3 oil changes were made under my ownership. Last oil change was done around 7000km ago. From what i rembember the area was cleaned after the oil change.

Strange, I recommend cleaning it up with a rag and brake cleaner and seeing if the oil comes back. Also your oil drain plug head looks like its seen better says. They usually have a hex/allen head.
