It takes a falcon eye to spot the leak origin in that picture.
However this is a new one because leaking is not one of the failures being reported on the 4.0. Better to get a report on the dealer for warranty purposes if the engine seizes, and have a proper inspection on the causes of that leak.

Loved mine.

Got this from a friend.. The text comes from Porsche:
"There is a possibility that a lid that was pressed into and glued to the crankcase is not seated securely enough in the opening on the affected vehicles. This can cause the lid to become loose and as a result, oil can suddenly leak out of the crankcase, resulting in immediate engine damage."

This is a 4.0 specific issue or 3.8's also?
