Left shoe tip oily wet after riding!

Question....

Not trying to start a flame war here, only trying to understand for my own personnel knowledge...

If oil was comming out of the head/cylinder areas, wouldn't it spray your pant/legs as well?

I would think the spray pattern would be evident somewhat up to the shin/knee as well... Or am I missing something?

Couldn't sleep a few days ago, so I left the house early for work... I mean EARLY! I start at 7am, but left the house around 5 and it's a 20 minute commute! Went for a ride! Anyway, when I got to the office, my co-worker says "Holy crap, d'you hit rain or something?" The shin/knee area was oily! Not too much, but just enough to make my pants look wet.

Plus, the thing leaks even when parked. Might just be the oil on the fins making it's way down. i did clean the engine, all the signs point to a leaking head gasket. I'll wait it out, and work on it this winter. I think!
