Leaking oil from the front of car, Help!

Put about 70 miles on the car today. Drove to a freinds house about 35 miles then back. He called me after i got home and said there was oil all over his driveway. I immediatley checked myself and sure enough a small puddle under car back here at home. Jacked the car up and oil dripped from the front opening in the belly pan where the differential opening is. Checked the oil level looks like i'm down 1/2 quart according to the dash display. Anyone ever had this problem and or any recommendations. Was going to jack the car up and drop the front cover and see if i can find maybe a loose fitting. This sucks, only 300 miles on the car. Any off the top of your head suggestions would be appreciated, if not, calling Porsche first thing in the AM.

Thanks

Is it leaking from the center differential? or near a wheel. I think the differential is above the bottom "cover" on the car, so you may have to remove it to see the source of the leak. If it is near a wheel it could be a shock leaking.

If this leak is coming from the front of the car my guess is that it's the front differential . I hope I am not correct .

Good luck . Keep us posted .
