Sure about it? I've seen broken down cars leaking oil to the ground.

Wait until you hear about what fully-functional cars routinely leak into the ground and atmosphere :)

Certainly the total level of contamination is like 5 quarts of oil in this case? Unless the person is constantly refilling their leaking junker? Maybe offer them a drip pan?

Military vehicles often have dedicated drip pans that they put under the vehicle every time they are parked because it's easier to do that than fix the leaks.

In the units I was in, any vehicle that had any fluids in the drip pan would get a thorough check next Monday to find the leak and would be in the shop as soon as the part came in.
