Oil leak answer:

Plastic vacuum fitting on crankcase had cracked and broken. Without vacuum being pulled, crankcase pressurized and forced engine oil out of the RMS. Tech repaired the fitting and problem solved.

I had noticed my brake pedal was rock hard at the end of the high speed straights and I couldn't invoke ABS with the mightiest of shoves. Why? Due to this (small) vacuum leak, vacuum had bled off the brake booster during the long WOT. For those without in-depth engine knowledge, vacuum is highest at idle and pretty much zero at WOT.

Live and learn...

It was essentially a $150 repair, so I am thrilled.

Glad to hear it was relatively painless. Now lets see some nice side shots of that car! Please.

Going to pick it up tomorrow from Monterey. You want "race dirty" shots? Or pretty shots? Pretty gruesome right now with marble-marks and track detritus all over it.

Haha, the crowd demands your service Tony! It was good to see you and your wife , even though I think we only got a few words in? lol. More time to visit next time I hope

Shahin! Great to see you again too. Glad we had at least a few minutes to chat before we both went different directions You guys were looking good and fast.
