I think this is my first tech post, coming from Lotus I'm used to things going wrong, but this one has me worried :-/
Any help would be much appreciated! Drove the car 90ish miles today, 2005 997.1 c2s, with the updated IMS. When I parked at home I looked behind me (i don't normally) and there was smoke coming from the engine bay. No warning lights on the dash, checked oil levels, all temps ok etc, popped the bonnet and there was oil (at least I think it's oil) everywhere. All over the drive belt, on a pipe running up past the coolant reservoir, over the fan assembly on the rear hatch, and evidently dripping down onto the exhaust.
I will try and get some pics, and have done a search but couldn't come up with anything which seemed too similar to this, but has anyone had anything similar? I'm kind of assuming the oil on the drive belt will be the cause of oil being sprayed everywhere, but I'm just after a few pointers as to what I should be looking for. Weirdly it smelled quite sweet, but didn't come up pink (despite my coolant reservoir being a little below min, glad I checked that too!!).
Anyway, sorry if this is in the wrong section, like I said, any pointers would be amazing! I will be dropping the car to AW motorsports tomorrow for an inspection, so will know more then, but anything in the meantime to know how serious it might be would be somewhat calming.
