Do you work on these leaks? I'll ask around but there's only a couple import mechanics here I would trust with a Porsche.
Bummer!!

Awesome. 
The more I see this kind of stuff, the more I think either someone was asleep at the wheel over in German land or Porsche let the interns have a crack at designing a car when they decided to do the Box.
I've got this leak too and there is absolutely no way I'm replacing a transmission case to "fix" a pressed in bushing that someone thought was a legit idea to machine in place. Last time I checked, a bushing, by design, is a wear product. What were they thinking?!?

The best picture I have right now. I guess I'm going to have to start looking for a solution (thats doesn't involve throwing away a perfectly good case)

Maybe GBox has a fix. Give them a call and see if they can help, you never know until you try.

Was going to say I'd grab a better picture today but just realized I've already scrubbed the transmission down to get it ready to go back in. Is there some way other than leaking that one could determine if that bushing is on its way out?

My shift lever wobbles quite a bit if I grab it and move it. Shifts great, but its a pretty decent leak at this point. If yours is not leaking, I would not even look at it cross and show it the respect it needs.
