Reported cause
I had similar drops of oil from my 993; turned out to be the bumper shock absorber.
Leading evidence: 'bumper shock absorber' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'bumper shock absorber' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair have' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Could be a costly repair, have to get it on a lift and take a look, thanks for input so far!
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.

Good morning,
Found these spots a few days ago. When first noticed them put a cardboard on floor to see exactly how serious the leak was, but there were more oil spots on the 3rd and 4th day than there was on the first day.
No recent oil change was done either.
Any thoughts please, thanks
Are you sure this is oil and not just exhaust vapour, is it dripping with the engine off - or running? If it is at a standstill and off get a torch and look directly above where the patches are you should be able to see it based on the laws of gravity.
That will only be where it is dripping from and not necessarily where the source is that will need more investigation.

The cardboard was pulled forward, leaks are further back. Cannot get under car to see where leaks are coming from, don't have any jacks. Will post picture of cardboard placement
If it's rms, once it's taken apart, should also do ims bearing and clutch job.
Could be a costly repair, have to get it on a lift and take a look, thanks for input so far!
Keep comments coming please !
The spots look oily - but at least one of the spots is darker at the edge, suggesting that there was some evaporation going on. Oil doesn't evaporate like that, so...
Heh. You said "taint"
How many oil spots total?
It's so weird to have one car (the 911) that isn't supposed to leak oil...and on the other side of the garage is the Corvette, which only stops leaking oil when it's time to add oil.
Most I had was 5, but funny thing, the spots didn't all occur at the same time. Occurred over a period of 2-3 days.
I verified it tonite, car has been parked for 4 hrs, no spill.
No logic
