Weird oil leak
3 months ago had the usual oil/air seperator smoke out. Replaced all three oil/air seperators. For about 2 weeks had a small oil leak, thought it was the RMS leak. Repair shop said let the oil that was sucked wear away and work its way through the engine.
About one week latter, all OK, dry as a bone, no measurable oil usage. Wife drives the car normally and never aggressivley. The first time I drove the car, agressaviley, a few drops of oil under the car, right were the RMS would leak. I don't drive the car, dry as a bone. I drive the car aggressivley, small leak.
I took the car on a 300 mile highway drive. Average speed 80 MPH. Fast acceleration to 80, but no REVS over 6000. Got home and a small puddle under the car again the next morning. Larger then ever before and it registered on the oil level readout in speedo - 3 bars.
Couple of days of wife driving the car no leak!
2001 Boxster, 58,000 miles, tiptronic, Had the full 60K service about 2 months ago.
Anybody see something like this before?
Thanks for any help with this one.
