Default Oil Leak

I noticed a few oil drips under the car (99C2) towards the end of a track day, seems to be coming from the left front of the engine (looking from the back of the car) as it has coated the rear axle adjustment mounting and everything to the rear. No leak on normal road driving. Any ideas?

Hey Kevin missed you this weekend at DE.

Drivers side front of motor could very easily be the AOS (Air Oil Separator).

Thanks guys, good links, umm looks like it's time to levitate the old jalopy.

Couldn't make the DE Greg, family stuff. Heard you made Black, congratulations - guess it's just the Renndays I'll see you on the track - when I'll have to sharpen up my entry speed.

Thanks

Kev

Thx, having the 3 days in a row I was hitting 10km more through most of the corners by Sunday. It's been a huge improvement since the Wednesday's rennlist track day.
Maybe I'll see you at Octoberfest at the Musket, or maybe I'll talk my wife into Dunville and instruct her since she missed this weekend's DE. She was a bit upset she couldn't go.

Maybe you should use the Cayenne after your last off roading visit there

That happens when you have no brakes left.
