Hi Guys,

Just wondering if it is normal for the oil dripping sound after driving. I am not leaking oil or anything. It seems that whether I drive 1 mile or 100 miles, when I turn the car off, I hear dripping in the pan. I was used to this with my Bimmer but only after a spirited or longer drive.
The Porsche engine seems to do this frequently. My buddy with a 911 said his does this and he attributes it to the design of the engine and the oil system.

Just curious?
What a great weekend for the top down by the way!

Thanks,
Joe
