One thing no one has written to you yet is the fact that a drop or two of oil on your garage floor should not be instantly assumed to be an RMS issue. My driver's side cam cover drips a little now and then, and what I thought was an RMS leak turned out to be some oil dripping from the filter housing after an oil change.
My mechanic said lots of boxsters and 996's have cam cover leaks... and not to be bothered by it until it gets stead or you have a couple of hundred bucks to throw at a new gasket and labor. I see no noticeable loss in oil due to this leak.
Don't jump to conlusions. Get the car on a lift and look at it with a flashlight. You may have little to worry about.
Plus, the RMS issues typically start as a drip and then get worse from what I've read, so if you watch the garage floor it will tell you if the car is symptomatic before you have catastrophic engine failure. So take another deep breath
