 I have a nice 65 , 110 PG with 42,000 miles that leaks oil. The car runs 
great except for the oil leak. I took it out of winter storage today and had to 
add 1 quart of oil . It leaked on floor of storage garage. It's been leaking 
since I purchased 3 years ago and goes through about 1 quart per season.

This tells us that it is a GRAVITY  leak....not a pressure / flow leak [ when 
running ]

A quick look underneath will show a small droplet forming   
somewhere......most likely at / near the oilpan.  NOTE:  this can only be determined when the 
car has set  for a few days...and the bottom of the engine has been wiped  
fairly clean....

I recently chased a leak..drip....that turned out to be a 1/4"x20  oilpan 
bolt up front......driving it caused a film to migrate to the rear.......wiping 
it off....letting the car set was the way I found it...
