Thanks for the replies. I'm sensing that its something far less than an epidemic since I seem to be the only one that has seen something like this. I didn't really consider that the problem could be the effect of the environment on the seals themselves. I always suspected the altitude had some impact on oil pressure.
>>> re. It's also possible that all the jostling from being loaded and shipped and unloaded exacerbated the slow leak that was already there.
Its possible, but the shipping was first rate - Intercity Lines uses enclosed air ride trailers. I doubt damage came from there.
>>> re. Are you parking the car on an angle of some form?
No, we park it in a level garage.
Still looking for answers...
