The same problem actually happened to me with my 1999 Boxster. Dealer just gave it the 15K service, and I drove home and next morning there was the puddle of oil. Took the car to an indie, who found that the oil filler tube was cracked. Apparently when the idiots at the dealer filled the car with new oil, the just kept pouring it in until it was full, regardless of the amount they were pouring in. The indie said he mopped up at least a quart off the top of the engine. Replaced the oil filler tube and the problem never came back. This was the same dealer that inspected the rusty-looking stains on the wheels of my brand new Cayman and wanted to sand and repaint them. Fortunately my friends in the forums realized this was just cosmoline, and I cleaned my wheels at home in 15 minutes, problem solved. Ever since, I do my best to avoid that dealer!
