Default 991.2 GTS PDK Enclosure cracks

Has anyone seen anything like that? Car was driving perfectly, and after a trackday I took it for a full check with my mechanic. During the check he found some oil leak and after some investigation he found 2 cracks on the PDK enclosure…

No errors on panel or PIWIS… His suggestion is to open the PDK enclosure to see what is going on.

That second crack looks like it was pushed out, not in , so I would suspect internal damage. Did it drive normally during and after the track day? No symptoms or dash warnings? Please keep us informed of the outcome.

No driving issues, lights or PIWIS information.... Just oil in the protection plate over the enclosure...

things find themselves in weird places when you're doing triple digits.

but, occam's razor, as above I suspect internal damage of some sort. could just be a poor casting that was unable to handle the flex of high load shifting as well.
