Check to make sure the oil leak is not from the spark plug O rings. The Boxster uses a long pipe which the spark plug resides in to get the plug deeper in the head. This pipe has two o rings on it, sometimes the o rings leak, if this is what you are seeing the fix should be relatively simple and not a cause for alarm. If the leak is somewhere else, that's another story. As far as the Cats, I don't know about a recall, my car is a 98..

Peace..
