Although I have had very few issues with the car over the years, I have had a very small (about the size of a quarter a week) oil leak for a few years now. The leak has stayed very minimal, but ever since my last oil change, I have noticed the oil has begun to leak a little more. Plus, instead of the one spot, it looks like it is now leaking from two or three. The car currently has about 80,000 miles on it.
My question is what is estimated cost am I looking at to repair? I know there is no way to tell for sure, but reading some of the posts, it looks like leaks on the 993′s are relatively common, especially after an oil change due to gasket drying and shrinkage.
Thanks for any info or advise you can give!

I have a 1998 911S, rear wheel drive. I follow the prices in Panorama and 42K is a good price for good condition 911. If it is a 911S, the price can be higher (turbo style body work etc, different than a “straight” 911). Condition can be everything. A lot of road chips on the nose is probably the most common reason the condition goes down. Drive it, have a good Porsche mechanic look at it if you like it, even if you have to put down $100 for the mechanic to do it. And Carfax it, very important. It is the last of the air cooled and will probably hold it’s price for quite a while.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, based upon these search results on Cars.com that seems like a reasonable price, assuming it has 65,000 miles or less.

Do you think this is a good buy?

Anyone had experience with leaving the top down for an extended time?
