I would expect to see a few drops of oil after driving. I had a 90 C2 that leaked like a SOB and I had to get that motor rebuilt and it was fine after the rebuild.

Is the oil in the picture a result of a normal drive (1 hour cruising around)?
The car was recently serviced and I did have a head gasket that was leaking that was replaced I'd imagine they would of seen any other failing gaskets.

No, no the oil is that from after 2 weeks of driving and sitting.
