Hey guys,

I am new to the Porsche world and this is my first post. I just got my 99 2.5L Boxster with 26K miles a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I had to change the water pump because it was leaking coolant, replaced all the coolant as well. I also have a power steering fluid leak, but we didn't have the seals kit at the moment, so that fix is pending.

I did the oil maintenance as well.

The car normally does not leak oil. But I have started to park on a 4th floor. Every time I go up the ramps and park, some oil leaks from were I circled in the pic:

I guess it is because of the angle of the car going up the ramps. It is not a big leak, maybe 15 to 20 drops. It only happens when I go uphill. If I use the car on level surface it won't leak at all.

Anyone know what this could be? RMS maybe? Thanks in advanced.
