I thought that's how they mark their "territory"? ( like an old Harley- if it's NOT dripping, you've got problems). Besides , if I tried to empty that thing, I'd probably dump it anyway!

"Catch cans" were popular way back when. If a poor fella' had a bad leaker he would periodically just dump the oil back in the engine!

When I was in high school mine wouldn't leak when it was running but would leak badly when parked. I would put a coffee can under it and refill the motor after class.
Drove that thing like that for four years. I also worked at a gas station after school and would tip all the oil cans into a gallon jug with a funnel in it after changing customers oil and would always get enough oil for my own car tha way...
