Leaking oil in the winter

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if its normal for my car to leak a little bit of oil in cold temperatures. I've had my 92 NA since last August and it's never leaker before, but when I left for work this morning I noticed there was a little bit of oil on the floor in my garage. This is the coldest temperature the car has been exposed to since I've had it (-22C). It feels like its running fine though, actually I noticed the performance seemed better than usual on my way in to work. Anyone ever experience this before?
