Default Oil leak from air suspension?

New to me 04 Cayenne TT, 50k miles, doing an oil change and initial look underneath and I noticed fluid dripping from what looks like it might be air suspension hose, driver side right next to the belt. Air suspension seems to work fine though.

Any suggestions as to what would cause this?

thanks for any feedback





Leak somewhere upstream?

I'm betting Intercooler/Turbo Boost hose. Bypass oil in there leaking. Porsche recommends to clean the Intercooler hoses every 40K and pretty much nobody does it. Do a search on here, there are a few writeups. Pull the Left Front wheel and plastic liner out to get a better look at the drivers side.

The video I made on how to change your oil in a Cayenne shows you how to remove the charge pipe hose. Link below if you need a reference. My guess, its the charge pipe hose/line seals are bad. Mine were leaking at 47k on my 05 Cayenne Turbo. It made a mess of the front suspension components.
