RugRunner is infamous around these parts
The PPI was actually very clean. Yesterday morning, I spoke to the tech at the dealer who performed the PPI and and explained the situation. He told me to expect it to drip just a little initially, as the car hadn't been driven much. He said it would stop on its own in a very short while as all the seals, etc were reseating. He said that if it dripped after every time I drove it for an extended period of time then I should have it looked at. He said otherwise, he expected it to drip just a little in the beginning and then it would go away. The car's been parked now for over three hours after a 400 mile drive and there's just about 2/3 of a drop forming, nothing on the ground. It's almost like its already starting to slow down. I'll definitely monitor it, though and act as necessary.

Thanks again so much for all of the input. I'm exited to have my first 911 !!

Also, the underside picture makes it look deceivingly bad. It's not as dirty and oil covered as it looked from the picture.
