Oil Leak - From Where?

[Flakarter]

Here is a pic of the area under the right rear of my 99' 996 which is leaking oil. Any idea what it might be, and what the part is that the oil is actually dripping from?

Thanks

Kind of hard to tell from that angle. Could be cam cover or could be a spark plug tube (seal). Pull the spark plug heat shield off and see if it is coming from a specific cylinder or the top of the cam cover.

Thanks LVDell!!!!

I'm a little dissapointed though. I just had the 30k service done on my car a few months ago, which included plugs. I sure wish they would have mentioned then that replacing the orings might be a good idea. It's just ironic that the leak started soon after the plugs were replaced by the dealer.

I think that is ironic as well. HMMMMMM.

Is there a reason they replaced the plugs so soon?
