You might want to look at and post the engine serial number. It may have already been replaced by Porsche under warranty. If it has the letters AT in the number, then it is a factory replacement with the larger bearing (non-serviceable). Then when you do service the clutch, remove the seal as JFP has suggested.
If it is low miles, and only changed at 10 k intervals, how many years between changes? For an 05 were talking 18 years. If it has, say, 30k miles that's an oil change every 6 years! Used oil has acids in it that can damage bearing surfaces in the engine.
I think, IMHO, the body style change in the '05 and later Boxster's isn't as appealing as the original 986 body lines.
