[QUOTE=dmonk;588792]I have a 1998 Boxster. One night I go to start my car, and the oil is spraying on to the drive way. After lifting the car I can see exactly where it's coming from. I was told that i needed to order a new freeze plug or expansion plug. So it turns out that wasn't the correct part. I know I'm missing some sort of cap or plug I need help finding this part.[/QUOTE


There is a good chance that you do need to replace the camshaft expansion plug in the end of the cam pointing toward your leak.

The cam/"valve"cover must come off to do this, to prevent this from happening again replace the oe plug with a pipe plug, 1/4" I think. This is a huge,"while you are in there" project so you may want to consider if you are "IN' for the long term or sell as-is now.
