How often should you eat oil in a Porsche Boxster?
The Boxster should not eat much oil (maybe a quart every 7500 miles), and should never drip oil underneath the car. If you have an oil leak repaired, make sure the dealer thoroughly cleans the engine. There are a lot of places that oil can gather on the engine and continue to drip.
Where is the air oil separator on a Porsche Boxster?
The engine air-oil separator is an emissions device located on the top right rear corner of the engine. The separator is responsible for collecting residual gases and vapors contained inside the crankcase and funneling them back into the intake manifold where they can be burned in the combustion chamber.
What’s the temperature of the coolant in a Boxster?
After a few days of venting system it is now water tight, level and temperature are stable at around 75 degrees C. However the vent/purge valve on top of the expansion tank is open when the engine is up to temperature. Closes when cool. Does anyone know if this is normal? Any advice most appreciated. Many Thanks. Hello Porsche people.

Why does the Porsche Boxster engine squeal when running?
The oil cap may be very difficult to remove when the engine is running due to high vacuum levels. In addition, you may hear a high-pitched squeal from the engine when it’s running: this is caused by air being sucked in past the crankcase seal due to the extreme vacuum inside the case.
How can I tell if my Boxster air separator is failing?
If you’re still not sure, you can take a closer look at the hose that connects the air-oil separator to the intake manifold (yellow arrow, Figure 2 ). If the unit is failing, then there will be a significant amount of oil or residue in this tube.
