New onset oil leak after alternator change--Related?
I recently had the alternator replaced and 3 days later developed an oil leak. The car was repaired at a Porsche dealership. Any chance this is at all related to recent repairs? I have little knowledge of engine anatomy and related parts except for the vey basics.Thanks in advance.

Do you trust the dealership? I've heard of irreputable shops opening up a nut or bolt here and there...
I should clarify that the vast majority of shops wouldn't do that kind of thing and most people are honest, but you should get under there and make sure the obvious things are OK before going straight back in.
