Checking if the car is level on the ground..

Just find some level ground and park the car on it mate, that's good enough for an oil check. Take a football with you, plonk it on the floor, if it doesn't roll away then the ground is flat enough to do your oil.

Yeah, could be just condensation build up in your exhaust from idling in traffic..

I take it you park your car in the same spot everyday? I usually service the car at my parents (in a nice big garage

) So when I fill the car with oil I know its to the max level. My house has a drive on a slope so when I get back up the road I will check the level first thing in the morning. Now I know the oil is at max so I just look to see where the oil level is now when the cars on my drive, if it needs topped up I fill it to there, easy!

Stop teasing Nitin, Paul!
