If you drive a Boxster hard (high rpm & hard cornering) right before you turn the engine off, the 2 oil scavenge pumps may not have time to minimize the amount of oil left in the heads instead of being pumped back to the "integrated" oil sump. If you park on a unlevel surface this can make the problem worse. The longer the car sits in this state the more drops of oil can drain into a cylinder. Enough oil in the sump to safely start the engine will never be a issue unless the car is parked on a steep grade. (45% or more) So just do a cool down lap before coming in, park as level as possible, & let engine idle long enough to stabilize oil & coolant levels.
