Thanks Brad - That is a really good tutorial. If you're not a tech writer, you should be!

26 years of Porsche wrenching and I ran my own Porsche web forum for 8 years This writeup was what I consider "half-ass" LOL I was at home and not at the shop when I decided to do this. I know what info a mechanic needs and I know what the "home user" needs

Brad, thanks so much for this. I always wondered about the AOS and now I know what it looks like, where it's located, and how to swap it out when my car starts billowing smoke! One hour too. That's totally doable.
On an older boxster like mine with 110k on it, do you recommend swapping it out as a preventative measure?

AOS Replacement - Oil Leak? Help!
Hello, Thanks for all the info. I successfully replace my AOS a few weeks ago having the same struggles removing the clamps. Every looked great. No more white smoke and car idled and ran better that ever. However, I noticed a small oil leak coming from the bottom of the car. I checked all the connections and could did not see oil leaking from where I connected the AOS. Has anyone had this experience. The car is running great. Just this annoying oil leak coming from somewhere underneath the car which I cannot trace where it is coming from. I suspect it could be coming from the other end of one of the hoses which I do not know where it leads to so I can check it. Any input as to where this oil leak can be coming from or cause or where to check would be very much appreciated.

For those struggling on removing the clamps below the AOS. See my
post here on this thread. Air/Oil Seperator write up?
Most new AOS comes with a new hose. Just cut the hose and you will have easy access to the two clamps for easy removal.
As for your leak. Check between the transmission and engine. If the leak is there its possibly rms or early signs of IMS bearing failure.

thanks for your reply. Yes guess it could very well be signs of RMS / IMS, however, find it very unusual that this oil leak just started after I changed the AOS. I noticed this immediately after replacing the AOS and taking it for test drive. Could there be other places to check for oil leaks that could be related after changing the AOS?. Do you happen to know were the other end of the hose connection to the AOS are located and could oil be coming from the other end of these hoses?
