Leaks on slope.

At home I park my Ean on a slight slope with the right front corner at the lowest point. No matter what I did, even with a big drip tray underneath the engine bay, I ended up with oil stains on the brick drive. I put the car into winter storage a few months ago - in a garage with a painted concrete level floor - and thought to check underneath a couple of weeks ago when I was out paying the rent. Absloutely clean and dry! Any ideas?

My guess is it's simply that the engine has not been running while the car was in storage and therefore not leaking - probably nothing to do with being level or not.
