So after a track day last week, I put the car in the garage and when using it a day or two later, I noticed a small oil patch on the floor.

A few days later I used the car again and having parked the car in a slightly different position noticed a new patch.

It seems to originate where the rear sway bar touches the centerline on the engine.

Having serviced the car a week before the track day, I am wondering.....

Is it sweating from an overfill or spillage? Or do I have a serious issue..... not being mechanically minded, I would not know where the RMS for FMS were actually in proportion to the drip.....

Do you have a 997.1 or 997.2 GT3 ?

997.1 GT3

Also 5 weeks back have gone from driving it a a daily, to twice a week now, if that makes any difference?

It's called "charm".

It's likely a leaky seal. Search on RMS. No biggie. Drive the car more, and it'll slow down / stop.

Normal.

ok

just had not noticed prior, however have bought a garage to keep it in, so maybe the light blue floor just made it more visible......

If the drops are about 3cm once in a while all is OK.
If it puddles like 15-20cm you have to replace the seal.

taffin

less than 1cm, thats why I though maybe sweating..... summer temps are already here

go for 5W40 oil instead of the std 0W40. This will reduce sweating/small leakages

put some cardboard under the car last night, and this morning nothing on it. Magic

is that not for diesels?
