Default Oil leak, air leak?

Injectors on braided lines into plastic bottles, all spraying ok and putting out the same amount of fuel. Out of bottles dried and left for a while, none leaking /dripping.
Factory lines back on, starts and runs ok with a bit of throttle but just noticed a very slight leak of oil from sump.
Does a slight leak from sump constitute an air leak? Mount of time, effort and money I've put into this thing, be glad to see the back of it.
Shame as it looks fantastic and slight drive down the street, have to be careful with the loud pedal!
Boost set at 8 then 16 so assuming I turn it down to a safe 14, will be running 7 without pressing the green button?
Clutching at straws since young mechanics are telling me injectors can't leak and if they can't plug in for faults
no telling them the amount of sensors and old wiring means these are far from simple to set up.
Shame the folks who built their business from sorting these cars no longer seem remotely interested!
