Oil Drip!

I would assume it will "leak" all the time that the engine is running, oily air will be exiting through the leak. You will also have a massive vacuum leak, which is not good. My Boxster S had this problem when I bought it, there was oil all over the rear of the engine and the chassis in the immediate area.

Hmmmm....
When I was under there it didnt appear the oil was blowing around as if being expelled under pressure.
Ill have to get under there again after I take the hard top off and the engine cover.
It was kinda hard to see up behind what my pictures show from laying on my back and the engine cover closed. lol
The photos do show shiny bits up/behind the engine which tends to show the oil probably isnt blowing out of there.
It's a slow drip.
