Looks like the engine had an oil leak there at some point as the back of the casing is stained and caused this to go.

So the question is do these cams come up vary often in good usable condition, or is it just a case of warning the credit card and purchasing new?

I only need the rear exhaust cam, which would probably increase the odds for the weight for a second hand would imagine a set being reasonable valuable as an upgrade to standard 996s.
Cams do come up on ebay from time to time, go check the site out and see whats there
