Default 2006 Mazda 3 2.3L Manual transmission

Im hoping someone can help me with out me having to do too much research as I am a working mom of 3 kids. I just got this car a few months back and the guy mentioned an oil leak. While I do see I’m leaking some oil, like a drop or two every day or so, from the reading I’ve done it’s more likely an oil consumption issue. What can I do to remedy this? Replace anything in particular?

How much oil is your engine consuming? If anything less than say, a quart per 1,000 miles, the standard advice is to do nothing. Why? Repairs are expensive, oil is cheap.
