My suspicion is oil leak. The ';rear main seal'; to be specific. Its a VERY common problem on Boxsters and the entire 996 line. Main cause: these cars tend to sit for long periods of time without a proper drive.What is the common problem when a 1999 porsche boxtser is running hot and the Oil light come on?
check the oil level. light works off a pressure switch low oil pressure light comes on. less lubricant = more heat. if oil level is ok then oil filter may need to be changed as a plugged filter will restrict oil circulation. good luck
It means that the factory warranty has run out.
