I have removed the engine on my 1997 boxster 5 speed, and found a puddle of oil on the top of the motor. The oil fill tube was very brittle and cracked

when I was removing the engine. Car has 106,000 miles and runs good. I have added 1 litre of oil all summer and drove about 3-4000 miles. I have a leak at the passenger side cam cover that I will address as well.

I believe the oil came from a cracked fill tube but do not know for sure. Any ideas? RMS is good but IMS seal is leaking and I will replace bearing.

I have just replaced my oil filler tube because it was cracked. I do not think there is any other way for oil to get on the top of these engines except for the filling process.
