Boxster does its best Exxon Valdez imitation

Drove to lunch today, got out of the car and smelled burning oil, Saw a trail of oil behind going thru Subway's parking lot then looked underneath to see oil pouring out. Had it towed to garage and was told by the indie that there is a wire screen on the left cylinder head that can get blocked. In turn, this builds up pressure and blows out some rubber plugs under the camshaft. He said he spoke with some dude at Pelican and was told this is a normal occurrence. Sound familiar to anybody? I just hope I didn't damage the engine. The trail is about 300' and was laid at a low speed.
