Hi, having a root around underneath as you do today :) and noticed the following.

Think it's the oil pump, had heard of the cover rusting, as mine is (not leaking yet though I don't think) however a gasket lower down seems to be weeping, it a common failure/weak point?

Expensive fix? Parts labour - don't mind having ago myself but it looks as though access might be tricky - lots of pipes (with rusty unions!) - I wonder if they should be replaced also?

Car is a 997.1 Turbo, Tip with 33K on the clock

Had this exact same issue with mine a couple of years ago. Got all the gaskets changed in the complete T/pump assembly under warranty. Everything's been bone dry since then. 👍🏼
