Slow oil leak. Should I bother to fix it?

My 911 has been sitting for about 2 months and has 2 drops of oil on the ground and 1 forming on the bottom of the case. Should I care at all?

I wouldn't worry to much about it personally. I would make a little effort to drive it more, or at least start it and let it warm up more often.

These are quirky engines. I have very old seals and now, some new seals. Every time I replace one old seal, another gives up the ghost. Two drops after two months is nothing.... How big are the drops?

Very small. Like a drop of water.

The engine is crying from lack of use.

My car was the same, drove very little. After I had problem with fuel lines, replaced, Draco recommend me to drive more often. I did. Now I have other problems. I feel old 911 = problems all the time no matter it is daily, monthly, or yearly.
Now, I don't know about newer 911, 964, 993, and 996
