Do your cars really leak oil??

I was reading this thread

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/783453-any-pelicans-living-germany-us-spec-911s.html#post7771687

talking about driving a US car in Germany, it was said that to pass TUV inspection the car leaked oil, which lead to the ubiquitous "all 911s leak oil."

Do you guys really find that to be true?

Maybe I'm the weird one, but I've owned 911s (and other cars) for 25+ years now, and NONE of them have leaked oil.

That isn't to say that they've never sprung a leak, most of my cars have at one time or another. But it seems like the obvious response to that is to . . . . (wait for it) . . . fix the leak.

So if your car starts leaking, do you really just ignore it? I find that surprising. That means something on the car is broken, in a fairly significant way. Why not fix it?
