[Shotimes] Potty Training My SHO, cheaply?

Well, as I mentioned before, the SHO is no longer my daily driver and when I
do fire it up, it's gone to leaking oil from a mysterious place. Since I
drive it so infrequently now, because, well, I hate to admit it, because I'm
selling it, arrrgh!, it appears to have developed new issues. Namely, the
leak and now I've noticed that it seems to be dumping oil into the exhaust.
As I let it idle on jacks last night to try once again to determine the
location of the leak, it piddled oily water condensation from the pipes. In
my 50,000 miles of driving, it's never done that. So, I guess my question is:
Since I don't drive it much anymore, could the seals be hardening and allowing
leaks? If that's possible, would driving it more get those seals to soften up
with the heat and what not? I want this car to be a good car for the next
owner, and I'm not asking for a fortune, but I don't want to sell a problem to
someone nor put a lot of money into it for not a lot of return.
I took it for about a twenty mile run last night and after about two miles, it
stopped smoking. Again, I want to be honest with potential buyers. I'm big
into Karma, not to mention the fact that they'll know where I live....
Thanks,
JB
