Oil leak on Tip S

My 2000 Boxster S Tip started leaking at 35,000 miles. I think it's the RMS but the dipstick reads that the car is a little overfilled. Where would an overfilled Boxster leak from? If it's the RMS, when should I go from keeping an eye on it to fixing it?

An overfilled boxster would tend to suck oil through the vacuum lines and get expelled through the exhaust - it would look like you were fogging for mosquitos.

You can get a couple of drips from the valve covers, the chain boxes, the spark plug tubes, and of course, the dreaded RMS.

if it is your RMS, it will have to be dealt with soon. The oil will eventually get slung on the clutch.

The clutch? It's a Tip.
