I'll offer you $1,500 USD for your broken Boxster.
...But, I think you just need a new oil filter canister.
Old style is smooth on the bottom:

New style canister has vanes at the bottom:

Vanes are "S-curved". Vanes are past the oil pick-up screen. Get a look at the bottom of your canister. Broken vanes?
