oil leak in TT
The last couple of weeks i've noticed a few drops of oil on the floor which appear to be coming from the left side of the engine. The car runs fine. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I've been idling in the garage for a minute at the end of a run to cool off the turbos. Is this oil something I should worry about?

You may want to remove the engine tray and take a look underneath. My TT turned out to have a valve cover gasket leak. The replacement gasket is inexpensive but there are a lot of labor hours involved.
If you have the Porsche preowned warranty, this repair is covered. I had mine replaced last week.
By the way, you cannot go wrong idling the car to cool down the turbos. I have had turbo engines (not always Porsche) for years......using this practice and changing oil frequently, the last one went over 175,000 miles before requiring servicing.
