A leaky buried tank won't always harm the grass. You would have to have core samples taken and analyzed. For above ground, the grass could recover on its own in a season or two.
Another approach: If the building ahs an unfinished basement, there should be a hole that would have been repaired where the line would have run had there been a buried tank. Likewise if the tank had been aboveground, there would still be a patched entrance. This would narrow down the places where core samples would be taken.

Given that an oil tank is generally buried, or in a basement(I will assume outside because you mention grass), AND given that gravity would pull any leaking oil down along with any rain that falls, were there an issue with the grass, it would be death instead of discoloration.
You should not be worried if all appears normal.

What would the oil leakage be from if there was no oil tank? I believe you are worrying too much.

If there was no oil tank or oil stored and the grass is growing I would not be concerned about an oil leak.

If you see oil on the floor it's a oil leakage.
