This is not a probability of success.

Tippy I think you are right, most likely the bellows.
Leading evidence: 'bellows' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'bellows' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I have what was a slow drip once a few days into a more droplet type oil leak close to the left rear wheel and suspension.. I've read here that the Oil Separator can be the culprit." It is located on the driver side of the engine and close to the fire wall. A split or crack in this plastic piece will cause an oil leak. "
also a CEL came on as well.
Does anyone have the pat number or info so I can order this ? a resonable DIY ?
ANY info will help !
redridge...here is some info from Renntech. If its just the bellows i'll not have to drop the motor.

Going to get a code reader tonight.
Tippy I think you are right, most likely the bellows. I've also got for the left bank, 3 new sets of spark plug tubes and orings...since I am in there and i'll also be checking what 1999Porsche911 said about the cover as well.
so far:
Actron CP9135 AutoScanner ... $65.00 from Amazon
from SUNCOAST MOTORSPORTS
..(oil filter..since I am there anyway..)AOS bellows & factory clamps. Although from the past posts i'll not use the factory clamps. and bellows and orings, tubes all about $58.00
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
