Porsche 2000 911 oil leak

The car has 22k miles, I recently noticed an infrequent oil drip on the driver side a few inches in front of the exhaust, it will drip a few drops on thr floor forming a quater size circle after a run and then stop. The oil is clean. Any ideas?

I noticed that on my mine awhile back...oil dripping from the driver side near the exhaust....it could be your sparkplug tubes & Orings gone bad....G/L & hopes its nothing serious..

Thanks for the reply

Is there any way I check to see if those items are the problem, or do I need to see a mechanic

Clean the area where the leak is coming from and see if it returns.

I vote spark plug tube o-rings. Very easy and relatively cheap to change out if you can remove the mufflers. The only special tool you need to a transom plug (cost less than $5) and a couple hours and you should have your problem solved.

Sparkplug rings seems to be the concensus, I will go there. TKS
