Also, try to park in the same spot every time.  I have a spot at the end of my driveway where I park my '81 diesel pickup.  I have a crack in the driveway that I can feel as I drive over it so can get the drips within a foot or so of each other each time.  The oil drips are black and ugly from this beast.  I have a little pile of kitty litter over the spot I park in.  For my '71 bus, I had a 3 X 3 piece of plywood that I kept under it.  Also parked it in the same spot.  The '91 Carat doesn't leak, yet (RVC), so it can park anywhere.  Keeps

SWMBO moderately satisfied.
