Oil leak

[ncbenroberts]

98 Boxster 2.5

I was in the process of replacing the 02 sensors when I noticed a pool of fresh oil.

Can't figure out where the leak is coming from.

Any ideas

Thanks

Used a tire press gauge to try and point out pool of oil

This is the right rear side of the car i presume, probably a cracked oil filling pipe.

Ben:

You mentioned that you were replacing the 02 sensors. Did you get any CEL's and fault codes that prompted you to do this.

If so, there is a TSB that explains how a cracked oil fill pipe could cause a CEL, which would confirm RFM's diagnosis of the source of the fresh oil pool that you found.

I had 5 diff codes 1125, 1123, 0410, 1411, 1128

A week ago I cleaned my K&N air filter, and didn't allow enough drying time for the oil causing some serious problems. This caused the CEL to come on, giving these wide range of codes. But after cleaning the MAF sensor the problems resolved, and I reset the codes. I decided to do a quick check of the engine, and thats when I noticed the pool of oil.
