What I meant there and didn't get across properly is that water obviously sinks in oil and if the car has a steel/iron sump, it'll have time to settle and start to eat through. Most of the time when oil sumps rust through, it's actually from the inside.
Point is a properly maintained car should have no issues being parked up for extended periods, aside from the battery.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
