Makes a complete mess, and is also pretty difficult to clean up as there are fairly deep nooks and crannies on the top of the engine. I love my Boxster, but Porsche didn't do a great job with the PS design. If you track your car, the issue can be worse.

I ended up installing a metal canister to contain the ejected fluid after chasing imaginary PS leaks  and trying to clean the fluid on the top of the engine  I used a metal fuel filter (blocked on one end) and a hose connected to the overflow nipple on the top PS reservoir. I do have a UD pulley as well.
