I bought my 03 S from a guy in Cheyenne and live at 8700 ft near Bailey, Co. No oil leaks or even signs of moisture anywhere on the engine for me. 4 of my cars are drip free, and the 5th one is an old Triumph so I would say its an outlier in your informal poll.
I brought several cars out here from Illinois (840 ft) in '92 and never had any oil leak issues.
