Default Marking her territory

Can you guess which side of the garage is home to my '39? Kind of embarrassing.

I tell my wife; if there's no oil on the pavement under the Flathead... there's no oil in it...!

At a gas station in Mississippi adding a quart of oil to my '51 (avatar, pre-overhaul) and an older gentleman walked up and gave the car the once over. Waited a minute and said "It's a Ford all right. If it ain't leakin' or smokin', it's empty."

Yours spews out more? Down there, is that in clockwise or a counter clockwise direction?
The oil leaks were cut off at the bottom of the photo. I use an old carpet hall runner for a drop zone. Works great.

Viewing the photo. Is that exhaust stains and not oil leaks?
