Oil leak clarification...
Hey all,
First time poster, long time lurker... Just wanted to get an idea of what part would need replacing to fix the oil leak below. The hose clamp has been replaced and it is tight, is this a breather line for the crankcase? It is located on the back left of the engine if you were looking at the engine compartment from the rear, front right part of the engine looking at it from underneath the car. It is lined into the bottom intake manifold from the cylinder head. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Awesome! I will try this before acknowledging the dreadful AOS job that might be ahead. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope I'm as fortunate as him^^^^

Actually doesn't look all that bad to me. Is it dripping/leaking onto the floor?
You might even just want to degrease that area and monitor, who knows how long that oil could have been forming.
Does the car use/lose a lot of oil?

This started when I switched from Mobil 1 oddly, coincidence? The next day from when I did the oil change, I all of a sudden had oil forming on the floor. I didn't over fill or spill anything. And no, I have have no oil consumption issues. Needless to say, I'll be replacing the bellows and clamps and switching back to Mobil 1.

Quick follow up... The bellows was fine. The damn aftermarket clamp someone put on was stripped and couldn't tighten anything beyond finger tight. Needless to say, bellows replaced with new hose clamps and I am one happy Porsche owner right now.
