Oil leak front driver's side
 

Hi guys, I went for a last drive today before restoring my car (997.1 Turbo) and I noticed a good amount of oil on my garage floor.

Looks like oil was leaking from the front driver's side area of the car.

Any ideas what it could be? clutch? front differential?

likely pentosin. check the reservoir in the front under the plastic panels.

Bingo!

Looks like the reservoir is leaking from the top (loose cap), the rubber hose underneath and wires around it are full of oil... Strange thing is that the reservoir is completely full... Where should I start? Change the reservoir?

Thanks for your help.

Have a look at this thread..

Wow looks like a very common problem with the clutch slave cylinder and accumulator. I will look at my options, go with OEM parts or do the GT2 slave conversion and clutch at the same time.

Thanks saabin!
