Hello knowledgeable Porsche friends. Today I was replacing the alternator on my 2002 C4S manual. I was fortunate enough to get the alternator out without too much of a struggle, but once out I could see oil pooled on the top of the block in the depressions. It is dirty oil so I am not thinking a cracked oil filler tube. Pictures are attached. Has anyone else encountered this and what might be the source of the oil? While the alternator is out I might as well attend to the source. It has not leaked enough to be noticeable on the dipstick or drip on the garage floor so it would seem small (but maybe not “minor”). Thanks in advance for your comments and advice. Overview with alternator removed.
