Hi all, I wonder if you could help me. I have a 2005 987 Boxster. A week or so ago I noticed a small oil puddle on the garage floor under the car after it had been sitting for a few days. Having got the car out of the garage this morning after not using it over the weekend I noticed more oil on the garage floor. It appears to be coming from around the drivers side front wheel. Having looked under the car as best I can I can see oil on the inside if the tyre. Does anyone know what the problem is likely to be and approx. cost for repair?

Thanks in advance
 
It could be brake fluid I suppose. How do you tell? It feels oily. It did have the brake fluid changed recently.
 
Pretty sure its brake fluid as the reservoir is half empty and I only had a fluid change a few weeks ago. Taking it in to the indy where the work was done tomorrow. Will post on here how I got on.
 
Sorry - missed the replies. I thought Brake Fluid as I could not really work out how oil would have got there - assuming you drive in front first then all the oil is at the other end of the car and shouldn't be anywhere near the front. Glad it's all fixed now.
