Not counting on the windscreen, I've only ever seen oil on the aircraft itself if the aircraft is multi-engined (b26, b24, p38, etc). I just assumed that's because you actually see where the oil is on these aircraft, but when you're inside a single engine you can't look at where the oil is (so why model it?). I figured it was an economy thing.
