Oil leak - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Just changed the oil today and noticed a couple of drops on the driveway. Its not coming from the drain plug or filter. Its on the right side near just inside the right rear tire. I believe this is the side the AOS is on.
The oil gauge is showing to the upper line but not above it. Did I over fill it a little? It was not doing it before the oil change. Any help much appreciated.

Can you get under it and take a look and a picture?

It might be the oil filler tube - mine leaked once and I had to replace the clamp.

Is it clean oil or dirty oil? Sounds like the oil fill tube to me. They tend to crack and will leak when adding oil.

The oil does is not very clean. I drove the car around last night. This morning I checked the floor and just a tiny drop. I wonder if its not coming from the AOS.

I guess it was the filller hose. I must have spilled some oil. I was able to jack the car up and wipe all the hoses down. No more leak.
