I got the impression from a couple of overseas threads that it looks like an oil cooler support bracket fracturing.
Its obvious that a loose oil cooler dropping and thrashing around will soon rupture, spraying oil around the engine bay and eventually on the hot exhaust(s).

Whatever the cause. I'm sure Porsche will do everything to rectify the problem - after all, the GT3 is its halo status model.....
