It's one thing to have oil residue on the engine, but when you have oil drips on the splash panels that means it's gone past the point of residue on the engine. Ever since I had my oil pan replaced a few years ago I see the nagging oil residue in the area, but fortunately it never developed into an actual drip, so I guess that's normal. Bottom of the engine is dry and so are my splash panels.
