I had some oil leaks fixed on my car the gasket and oil was leaking on spark plug so I got that fix. Now I only have a small leak when I park in my driveway on flat surface. But when I park on incline nose up I don’t have any oil leaking. Can someone help explain why?

Probably a leak in the oil pan gasket near the front of the pan.

When the car is level, the oil level is high enough near the front of the pan for the oil to leak out. When the car is parked nose up, the oil runs to the back of the pan and can no longer escape where the leak is.

If you were to take a look underneath (probably have to remove a bunch of plastic vanity/aerodynamic panels from the under side), you'd see the drips near the front of the pan.
