"Lots of photos of early Spits with oil collector rings added to the nose to keep the oil from streaking back to the canopy."

Never seen them on Spits but many Hurris had them.

What was leaking? The gearbox or the prop control?

No added rule needed. Private banter between squad members have a place (i.e. private squad forums).

"Oil slinging from the constant speed propeller" is how it's described.
