My 1997 Boxster (5 spd with 31K miles) developed an oil leak which was evaluated by a local, well respected private shop. The tech discovered oil leaking from the crankcase ventillation system, claiming the problem was caused by the oil separator. Can someone explain this scenario to me? What parts are required and what costs might I expect to repair same?

The AOS is Porsche's answer to the PCV valve on most cars. It has been a weak point, and there have been several posts over on PPBB about updated parts and DIY fix-its. Not hard, but requires the right replacements parts and some time to to it correctly. Suggest you do a "AOS" search on PPBB.............
