After I jacked my car on stands, oil started to leak...

Today i replaced both rear LCA’s on my 2001 986 S and same as you, while lifting the car very high i saw oil starting to spill on the ground... i quickly noticed that it came from the drive axle seal with the transmission...

My thought is that on some extreme jacking conditions (like lifting one side at the maximum of my jack to put a jack stand under the car), the seal of the driveshaft seemed to allow transmission oil to come out, then fill the pan that you are talking about to finally leak on the ground.

After putting the car back on the ground, the leaking seemed to stop, so my guess is that we need to avoid lifting too much on one side when the other side of the car is still on the ground

I lost around 2 cups of that oil and i think i will have it refilled to make sure that my tranny is safe, i will keep you guys updated in a few days after going for my alignment and transmission oil refilled.
