My stock 304 Senator only really leaked from the rocker covers, not enough to leave anything on the ground though.
I upgraded the rocker cover gaskets on my old 304 to the rubber ones instead of the std cork gasket, fixed that issue

Did air filter and plugs last week. RHS plugs were rich. Put back and old O2 sensor. Car started running rough after a few days. One of the plug leads was just hanging on. Replaced leads and will see how it goes. Is one wonky lead likely to make the bank run rich?

evicted the spiders, popped battery on charge fitted the spare door handle with lock as my car hasn't had a lock for some time.
normally doing the door handle is an annoying job, right proper p.i.t.a this time. door has been replaced at some time before i got it and the panel smasher have tweaked all the metal around where the handle meets the door making everything not line up correctly and getting the slide clip in a bastard of a thing.

The cheap degreaser from SCA is useless, I tried it once and it didn't get anything off. I use the CRC stuff, works much better.

What a Holden 5.0ltr leaking oil = never ha ha ha ha .
I must be lucky = got the smallest amount of seeping from the sump
Might be starting to leak from the rear main= ( not bad at all).
Changed rocker cover gadgets to the rubber ones when I did the cam etc change 4.5 years ago.

it did the job by moving most of the 25 year old black crud under the engine cover and i give another hit with some better degreaser in coming months
