Engines that are sealed properly don't leak oil. There are several places where seals fail and they do leak -- distributor shafts and camshaft pulleys. Some of the problem is that people don't drive their cars enough so seals deteriorate/flat spot causing the leakage. Remember, some 308s are 25 years old while some 328s are 15 years old (mine is an '86). They're not difficult or expensive to replace, if you do it yourself but costly if you go to the dealer -- they find other things to replace too (just like most dealers).
