Often bathroom vents will drip due to condensation in the vent pipe. As the warm, moist air from the bathroom is drawn by the fan into the pipe in the cold attic the water in the air condenses and drips back down through the vent. 20 feet is a long way for a bath fan to push the air so it has plenty of time to cool off. Solutions include insulating the vent pipe (fiberglass taped on with duct tape),or shortening the run of the pipe and having it run horizontally and exit out the side of the house. Letting the fan run for a few minutes before steaming up the bathroom may help by getting air flowing and the vent pipe warmed up a little bit.

An oil pan doesn't leak unless it is damaged or rotted through. You probably have a gasket or a seal that is leaking and the oil is dripping off the bottom of the oil pan. In that case it would leak more with the engine running.

Why is water dripping from the back of your 95 Chevy Caprice?

I had the same problem with my caprice a few weeks back. The water shouldn't be dripping from the back, it should be dripping on the rear passenger side floor board. That is caused by the heater core being bad, which is causing the water to seek through the carpet and drip out the back floor board.
