They can't take the car in until 3rd May (!) and when I do they need it for 2 full days, which I guess is probably normal. However, he said that the leak was small, and therefore it is OK to drive until they take it in. I'm a bit concerned - is there any chance I could do further damage?

I've heard a few stories about RMS failure, and it being a weak point on the 986 and the 996. I'm now worried, because I've only had the car since December, and I've already been affected. The car is a 2002 Boxster S by the way. Is there an upgrade to the seal that the OPC will fit, or is this failure likely to happen again in the future?

Thanks for your help.

Don't mix this with IMS failure, if your only getting some spots, keep an eye on the oil level and use it as normal. Unless its leaving a pool, I would not be overly concerned (plus leave some card under you car in the garage!)
