All of these are relatively easy to fix.
Mine also has a leak at the soft oil lines at the front cooler.
zippy: When I did a PPI I knew it had leak, and it is mostly under the crankcase I thought. I don't recall any oil on the valve covers. I will have to do a more detailed investigation in the three spots that you note. In the short time I drove may be a few days before storing it for winter, I didn't notice any oil on the floor, but not sure if it is because of the cold weather and 20W-50 oil.

Ginot, Jesse: Thanks for the advise. I think getting it teched is a good idea to see what is involved before I register. I will certainly ask questions and get some clarifications before assuming all is lost.

Mine is a 1982 911SC, and I certainly agree with the point of dripping oil making it hazardous for everyone.

Thanks everyone for some great feedback!
