New vehicles,they don't use gaskets anymore. And they leak. Overfilling with oil will blown seals.Racing will thin oil to where they leak.

Cars use gaskets and after a while those gaskets end up failing. There are many causes for a gasket to fail: loose connections, bad oil, inproper gasket alignment, and others.
Generally happens as you get to 100,000 miles.

older vehicle leak oil.
Put high-mile engine oil (thicker oil), so doesn't leak
