Hello everyone,

Here is the background: Maybe a month or so ago, my boxster started leaking. By default I assume it is an RMS. The catch is I have a tiptronic, so there will be no logical "easy" time to fix the problem, if RMS is the case.

I am not sure what the actual problem is, but I have suffered zero CELs, performance problems, odd sounds, odd driving "feel" or anything. I would estimate I've driven the car 1,000 miles with this leak and have no perceptible level of oil loss. It is all business as usual, except for oil droplets. The drop puddle you see is from about 2 weeks of accumulation. I have attached 5 pics of the drops and underside of the car as best I could. . . please add your insight if you can look at the pics.

Thanks! I really hope this is nothing.
