[Nigel Booker]

I took my 996 out yesterday and to be honest I gave it a good thrashing.

I put it away in the garage and put it up on the paddock stand.

When I went into the gagrage this morning its dumped a mess of oil all over the garage floor.

The level looks fine, although it is slightly below the upper limit. It appears to be coming from the overflow pipe.

Any ideas?

Any wheelies? It may have spat a load of oil out into the airbox and now it's drained back out.

No wheelies, but a lot of heavy down shifting and several rear lock ups.

I did bounce it off the limiter a couple of times.
