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.

Judging from the photo it looks like the oil is coming from one of the cover bolts The cover bolts from my Boxster were leaking on the top of the cover and dripping down. It can be corrected.Here is a photo from Pelican tech article. The oil get can get to the bolt especially from the cam journal bolts..
