My 2005 Boxster S is leaking oil. I took a quick look underneath, and it's coming from the driver side head area. Right now it's pretty covered with oil around that area. I know I need to clean it and check the valve cover and spark plug tubes for leakage. Anything else in that area that's common to cause a leak - any other components?

There’s a breather tube that is located near the serpentine belts that has shown a propensity to sweat/seep oil, it might be worth checking it.
Please report back what you find.

I have to get in there, clean up and poke around. Darn, it's a tight fit in there! This is not just seeping, it's a fairly good sized leak. It leaves a small puddle when parked.
