When I store my 911 over the winter, it dumps all sorts of oil on the garage floor. When I do my spring cleaning, I clean the garage floor and start driving the 911. I don't get another drop of oil on the floor all summer until I store the car again for the winter. There was a thread on this topic where a bunch of people had the same experience with their cars and Zimmerman (I think it was him but could have been Weiner) piped in to say that on the older cars, the oil line gastkets sweat when the car is not used, thus the oil leaks.

Drive the car a bit if it has just come out of storage and see if it continues to leak. If it does, then you may have bigger problems than sweating gaskets.

Triangle of death. That's my line.
