Very thin oil can be a problem. Used to have that issue on a bug I owned and switched over to Shell Rimula (a diesel oil) and the leaks all stopped.

....mine too. Helped our friend move to a brand new flat using the van a couple of weeks ago. Parked on her new, unblemished block paving but unfortunately our van left a small oily 'I was here' patch. Ooops
