15w50?

Hello Out There,

I'm new to this forum. Lots of good info here...thank you!
I bought a '99 Boxster with 80,000 miles 4 weeks ago and LOVE it...It's by far the most amazing vehicle I've ever owned or driven! although I was very sad to find that when it sits over night there are always a few drops of oil on the garage floor.
I've read that if it is driven often (so the seal doesn't dry up) and if I use a heavy weight oil it may cure the leak.

My questions are:
How often is often? Every day? 3 X a week? For how many miles?

and...

Would Mobil 1 15W50 be okay to use in Va. where the temperature can drop below the 20's in the (upcoming) winter months?

Also...

Will I wreck the engine if I don't get the leak fixed? and how much does it typically cost to replace the RMS?

Thanks so much for help!

-Sunny
