Crankshaft Oil Seal leak

Hi there, I think I have the exact same problem. I bought a 2004 Boxster with 29,000 genuine miles, 6 weeks ago.

I have noticed 3 different oil patches on the garage floor when taking the car out but only after I have driven the car a reasonable distance - if I just run in it on the drive prior to cleaning it and after then pop it back in the garage, it doesn't leak.

I have spoken to the german car specialist I use for my Audi S4 and they said its the rear
crankshaft Oil Seal which I guess is the RMS, they also said most Porsches leak from the same place and not to worry too much - is this so or should it be investigated further?

I would appreciate any feedback.
