Last week after discovering a wet oil patch on my driveway, I took some pictures under the RH rear of my 1997 Boxster.
It’s soaked under there – and drops about a tablespoon of oil after every journey.
After popping the engine cover off, I found the middle oil filler pipe to be wet above the flexi section, which after reading online seems like a common problem, caused by a failing AOS sucking the hose flat and cracking it. Although I do not exhibit any of the typical bad AOS symptoms, I will most likely replace this along with the filler hose, due to the unit being a 97 original (flat top).
My question to you is do the pictures suggest anything more sinister? That to me seems like a lot of oil for a small crack fairly high up in the filler hose.
Thanks
