I got 25k out of my last chain, and i do a lot of town work. Mine doesnt dump oil all over the place, and wont if set properly.
Dont go spending loads of money on a touring kit, as the normal Mk7 kit has enough oil for about 1000+ mile.
As said, just remember to top it up every now and again.

I may have exaggerated a little bit - there was a small patch of oil about 3" by 3" on the drive 
If you can't be @rsed with regularly lubing your chain then they are a great bit of kit, and the expense of buying one is offset by the longer chain/sprocket life. THe only problems I have ever heard with them is initially getting the flow rate set correctly, and the odd feeder tube going awol. |
I also have a scott oiler fitted. My bike was also parked on your drive (lucky you
) and I think you'll find there was not a drop of oil where my bike was parked.
