What viscosity of oil are you using?
Some synthetics are great but very thin so it's more likely to seep all over the place through wee gaps.
But who knows? I'm no expert on all this.
How is the car performing?
If it's performing as good as it ever has don't worry.

I'm not sure what to suggest other than checking whether it's being burnt or leaking, check fumes on start up. I disagree that it may not be a problem if the performance is still there. If a seal has gone/is going, then it can perish quite quickly once it starts to degrade. Either way it would be a good idea to have it checked out, especially running it at this time of year.
