Since Mobil 1 is synthetic and thinner than most oils, it usually finds its way through the seals easier than most normal oils over time as the seals would normally need to be refreshed over the maintenance intervals. I think the design of the engine plays a part on the leaks. My Mazda MX6 turbo had mobil 1 from 5k to 205k when i sold it and she only leaked out of the valve cover gasket. Wouldn't expect anything less from Ford than leaking out of the bottom of the engine! My V6 is at 93k now. I just consider it a small price to pay for keeping the inside of the engine like new.
