Default V-8 is supposed to leak ?

I have been told that ford V-8 engines were designed to leak a tea spoon
of oil when turned off. (model A's too ) I was told that the oil at the top of crankshaft (slinger ) is meant to drain to the front and the back side of crankshaft in between flywheel and block. That is why a large cotter key is at bottom of pan so as this hole (oil drain hole ) is always clear. I do know that most fords leak.
