Porsche Boxster Air / Oil Separator Replacement - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article
This emissions device can cause a lot of problems. The good news is that it's easily replaceable, as shown in this tech article.www.pelicanparts.com
It can still be caused by running the oil level high and not letting it idle for a bit after parking.
