That does not sound like an RMS leak. If you had one you would know it. That is just the dirt and grime from 42K of use. More power to you. Mine has 46K, same dirt/grime you mention but no RMS issue either. Keep running it hard!

Looking at the bottom of the Boxster's engine, one can really see why this is not a real dry sump engine ...
Not related to what you said, but I note that the picture posted above is NOT of a Boxster's engine. It is a 911 engine.

is there any report of the RMS leak with 997 so far? is there a difference between frequently use car and not so frequently use car in relation to the occurance of the RMS leak? any comments?

Had an RMS leak on my 986S. You will know if it's a RMS leak because 70% of the time there's always a few drops of oil on your garage floor the morning after you park it after a drive. For me the other 30% of the time there were no new drops (I have no idea why). Put a clean sheet of newspaper under the car and see if you have consistent leakage.
Area circled in red is from where RMS leaks appear.

Thank you MMD .
So it appears it's not really that big a deal if it turns out to be the RMS.
Makes me feel a lot better .

jcs,
after they change the RMS, maybe you could request they put some "black light indicator" in the oil. Princeton put some in my 05 911 when it had issues. After a trip to Spencers for a black light, I would check every other week, until the car and I parted ways. Hopefully your car issue will turn out better than mine, and hopefully none of the oil got to the clutch.
Cheers
