Hi Garry

Looks like the photo didnt upload.  I've created a sister site for hosting Porsche video and Pictures, called www.p101tv.com.  If you upload your pics there, you can post them again and again in forums and blogs without having to re-upload.

On to your problem.  Unfortunately an oil leak on a 911 engine is hard to find.  The drips on the engine and on the floor dont necessarily mean thats the precise location.  The oil can travel away from the source.

As a few pointers, it could be:

- Oil Pressure warning switch;
- oil sender unit;
- cam covers;
- oil filter
or just a spil.....

You'll need to get in further for more investigation.....

See if you can get some pics on here for a better look....
