Oil Leaks

I've been chasing after some oil leaks in my 2000 Base Boxster with just under 101k on it. In previous efforts, I had the RMS and the oil filler tube replaced. That slowed things down, but it was still leaking. I have also replaced two of the spark plug tubes and their associated O-Rings.

Today, I had the following work done:

R&R Intake Manifold Plenum - this included replacing various O Rings, Clamps, RTV, etc. under the plenum. I also had the following major parts replaced: 99617401571 - Crankcase Vent Valve, 99610327257 - Breather Hose, 99610716401 - Breather Hose.

The mechanic who did the work told me that there was oil deposited on the top of the engine and several O-rings and clamps were leaking.

I'll keep checking to see if this solved the problem.
