Mine is January 2018 Production.
They let me drive the car(i think it is not a big oil leak as also i didnt notice a single spot on the garage floor)
But as they didnt manage to locate the leak by only inspecting the car on lift, will be a two day job for disassemble the engine.
Apparently they don't like this type of issues because they have to photograph all the components and explain all to Porsche HQ so they can made the fix under warranty.

I have the car up on jackstands and the rear bumper is off. I pulled the under panel off today to see if there was a leak. It looks dry. Tank seam is dry. Thanks for posting information on this so that we can keep an eye on it.

The car will not leak on the floor, you have to remove the engine protective panel/difuser to see the leak.
When you will do the first oil change just ask the guys to also inspect the oil tanko.
