the porsche in question is a 2001 boxster s with 130k miles, auto ... he states he will not start it due to the leak ...
I'm wondering if the unfamiliar mechanic is talking about a bad AOS. It fits the description for someone unfamiliar with these motors. Second the motor may not run if its ingesting oil and the plugs are fouled. Wouldn't be the first car diagnosed dead with a bad AOS.
