A,B,and D are leaks coming from the rubber joints in the intake. Those flex around as the engine revs. Hey, if that's the intake, how'd oil get in there??? Great question. The air-oil separator goes bad after a while and I suspect yours is still in the "good" range, but letting some oil pass through. Pull the throttlebody and have a look inside the intake "T" pipe. A very light coating of oil passes inspection... puddles of oil do not.

Your $.02 is worth more than that to me.
Very sound thinking from someone who knows way more about the intricacies of Boxsterish stuff than I do. I do need to learn more about this AOS deal anyway, so how better than to take it apart and inspect it?
Thanks!
