This got me thinking (ouch!)
The TRS likes to dribble a bit of Oil and judging by a few of the posts on here a few others have/had this problem. I am talking engine Oil (the black stuff )
Tracking down these leaks seems simple enough , except I can not find this blardy one.
So where you guys found your leakage (if any).

I can't give you any specifics on your type of engine, but common leakage areas I've come across in the past include:-
Rocker cover gaskets
Head gaskets
Crank oil seals (front & rear)
Failed pressure sender units
Sump plugs
Oil Feed pipes (although I don't believe these are applicable in your case)
I'd also check any vent pipes for the engine, as a blocked engine vent can force oil past seals that are otherwise fine.
Hope some of this helps!

over the years I've come to the conclusion that Rolls Royce had it right when they said "any Rolls engine that doesn't leak oil has no oil in it".
Same applies to XU's!
