Default oil leaks- front bearings?

Is ti normal to have slight leakage of oil (after run oil) out of the front bearing area? All of my 2and 4-stroke engines have always done this. OS and Evolutions. This only happens when engines are stored between flying sessions., usually about a week between flights.

Thanks in advance for your input.

If they don't have some sign of at least seepage, yopu're either running Cool Power or maybe running them too lean.
