Boxster Oil/Coolant Problems :(

[trancers21]

The other day on the way home from work, I flipped on the heater and began driving home. Heater wouldnt come on. I turned it off, left it alone, and then turned it on and it was fine.

But then the car started overheating and I was stuck in traffic so it took a bit to get over to a station. Coolant everywhere in the trunk, although i think it was more from the coolant/steam spraying everywhere . Coolant tank in trunk bone dry.

I filled with water and that got me home. Thats problem #1.

While checking out where the coolant is leaking from I noticed that when I turn the car on (engine running) oil pours out the bottom. Doesnt drip..a steady pour. It pours off the oil filter. The second i kill the engine it immediately stops. Obviously its leaking only when theres pressure.

At first, I was really hoping that maybe the oil filter seal gave way or the plastic filter cover was damaged. I replaced the filter and seal and made sure it was on good. Checked where the filter cap screws on for damage. Nothing.

Still pours out.

Looks like the oil pours from directly atop the filter cap? Any suggestions?

Im hoping its just the oil pan gasket or something easy to fix.
