I have a 2000 Boxster. A couple of months ago I noticed 10-15 small oil spots in my garage and about the same in my parking spot at the office. Over the weekend I inspected the engine and found some oil pooled in a recess on the engine. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same thing or might know where exactly it is leaking. Here are some pictures:

You are right under the AOS vent line to the intake.

Right next to the oil fill tube

and not far from the AOS itself -- which if there was a leak say in the bellows and

under pressure -- it could spray to here.

there is also the pickup tube which is just to the right and maybe a little forward of that spot

which could be leaking or cracked?

because your oil system is spider webbed in around there and under pressure -- it could be

tough to figure out exactly what is leaking without a little disassembly.
