Question oil on belly

I would look into the oil on the belly problem. I have approz 450 hrs on the frt engine and 650 on the rear and never see anything but the black exhaust marks on the belly. I keep the oil at 8 qts. It stays there at that point for 12 to 15 hrs before I have to add any, usually 1 qt by that time. As long as you keep up on the oil leaks the belly should not see any oil. This is what I have seen on my bird over the last 2 years. Compared to my Beech B80 this this aircraft is like a desert (no moisture). Can't even compare this bird to any other, it's been a dream.
