Are there any leaks in the Porsche Boxster?
On the 3.4 conversion engine, there weren’t any major leaks, but there were a few minor ones that were found (one of the breather hoses that connected to the radiator tank needed to be tightened). Although you might think a smoke machine is a limited use tool, it’s highly versatile for solving other problems as well.
Why does my Porsche Boxster have an AOS problem?
The AOS has caused numerous issues on Porsche engines and is an item to be closely monitored. As the membrane in the AOS fails, oil is sucked into the air intake. Initially this can show up as a check engine light for fuel adaptations with oil being deposited on the o2 sensors causing emission faults.
Are there any problems with the 986 Boxster?
The upgraded aos features a doubling in size of capacity for scavenging and is less prone to sucking up oil during high speed cornering. M96 engines fitted to the 986 and 987 Boxster can have issues with a bearing at one end of the engine intermediate shaft. The shaft connects the two ends of the engine timing gear.
How often should I clean my Porsche Boxster engine?
Notes: Some of these problems have been resolved in the manufacturing process and should not recur in new engines. 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.

Why does my Porsche Boxster have oil in it?
This typically starts out as an oily film and continues to get worse over time. There are many potential problems associated with this sign – oil could be getting in to the coolant from a blown head gasket, from a crack in the cylinder head, a crack in a cylinder liner or through the oil cooler.
