Hi Meir,
No, bought it from someone else.
so once again, congratulation and welcome.
the reason i asked, is because he has the same car, and had issue with a control arm.
i'm sure you will find this forum very helpful, but with suspension noises, it is very hard to point to the problem. as Chris mentioned (nice Hebrew dude) it could be any part of the suspension.
have someone inspect it, and he will be able to tell you which parts are worn.
and yes, any mechanic can do that, don't let them give you the regular "it a Prsche, 10K shekel for a fix" BS.
about the oil leak, two most common issues are the RMS, and the plug tubes.
you can read all about it in this book:
Pelican Parts.com - 101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster

or in this set of articles:
Pelican Parts - Porsche Boxster 986 / 987 and Carrera 996 / 987 Technical Articles
