Found the source of the oil leak. Visually it was difficult to find. They had to spray with a white substance and run the engine. What they found was the oil tank seam was leaking. Apparently, when they pinched the seam together it was not done properly. Oil sipped alone the seam. Hopefully this is a one off incident or Porsche will be replacing all the oil tanks.The oil tank needs to be replaced and probably will involve dropping the engine.
The car is drivable. Now waiting to hear how long it will take to replace the part.
Nick - that makes sense as to why it dripped on the floor rather than the underside of the engine tray (tank is off to the right side beyond the tray). Since the tank is inside the right rear wheel, any drips will not end up under the tire as you drive. And unless it starts to leak badly, it shouldn't cause a problem for anyone following you (though I wouldn't do a track even until the repair is complete). I can't imagine that it will take long to acquire a replacement tank, as the cars are currently being built furiously and many tanks are required...
Having been under the car several times now, it doesn't seem necessary to me that the engine would need to be dropped to replace the tank. However, they may just prefer the additional room that would be afforded with the engine out of the way.
On a 911, an engine drop is so simple that I wouldn't let this cause you any angst. No big deal.
Glad the leak was external to the motor. At least they don't have to open the motor - that would give me some pause...
