Question

Answer
Do the oil leaks bother you?  If not, there is probably no need to do anything about them.  A person with a spotless painted garage floor may go wild at any leak, where a farmer who parks in a dirt yard would care about anything that isn;t life threatening.  And the leaks you describe are not generally life threatening.
