Front Engine Seal Leak- Cause damage?
I need to replace my front engine seals. Will a delay cause any damage to the engine? Does this leak affect performance in any way?

Yes, it will most definately will cause damage. That goes for any car, not just Porsches. Wish I could give you some advice besides replace it fast or replace the engine later.
Good luck with the repair.

The belts might get damaged from the oil coming out of the seals. No immediate damage, but in a few thousand miles the belts will break and then you've got a valve job to look forward to.
