I have 2100 miles on the car and it's been a blast -- I've had the car in the air previously for the 3rd cat delete and valve controller and noted that the aluminum pan under the engine looked wet -- and that I had pwr steering fluid level at min. I decided to do an oil change today and figure out what was up.....Lotus has been made aware 
UPDATE -- appears to be oil cooler pipe seals that are leaking.
For anyone looking to do you own oil and filter change -- I highly recommend you do it -- yes it's a lot more work than a car without a full undertray, but there's a lot of satisfaction doing it yourself and knowing it's on point. I used my 8" race ramps on the rear and the two floor jacks on the front, I also replaced two screw clips that I fouled up on the first underbody tray drop -- and yes, they were bought on Amazon and fit perfectly!
