Check the oil filter housing. I had an Indy shop do an oil change and soon after developed an oil leak at the filter housing. Last week did an oil change replaced the o ring seal and no more leak.

It could be something as simple as a spark plug tube or tube 0 ring. You did say the car doesn't get driven much and if they are the original 0 rings they're now 20 plus years old. I always look for the easiest and cheapest to fix things first.
