Alright...thanks for that quick response!! I figured it was some sort of "relief" port, but the tranny isn't under pressure. It would then overflow because of heat expansion. Fair enough. It is a stock 5-speed manual, original 2000 Boxster hardware.
So, here's my next question...if it is overflowing from heat, wouldn't it be gear oil? Gear oil is pretty viscous, no? What I saw on the floor, and dripping off the base of the tranny/engine connection was thin(ner), and light, amber colored. At first, I was worried that I had a RMS leak...but I am now convinced this came from above and ran down. Now regretting not taking a closer look at the fluid on the floor at the track garage.
