I started to notice an oil drip on my 996 C4. Anyone know where the leak might be coming from? What component is this?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You need to clean it real good all the way up. Take for a short drive, get it up to temp and get a borescope up top to find the source. .
