I can't imagine that 987s are all the different from 986s. I had to put the car up, remove the RR wheel, and access the snap-clip that secures it to the crank-case via the rear wheel well ( and mostly blind). I did post a write-up and pics, here, some time ago, but don't know what exactly became of it.
It may simply be me, but i have never heard of the AoS being a source of appreciable oil loss. Its usually more a source of a drop or two of oil that makes its way through to the combustion intake and creates a cloud. While that looks like a lot, its a tiny volume of oil.
My point is you may have another leak, or it may be a leak around the AoS

The AOS as a source of oil consumption is a theory I've had for some time... MarcW - Monday, 27 May, 2013, at 11:11:12 am |

All of the AOS versions (986, 987, 996, 997) are very similar.
They have two 10mm hex bolts that hold the base in place onto the engine block.
These bolts are easier (in the Boxsters) to be removed from underneath.
It also helps to remove the passenger side rear wheel. It gives you visibility into the AOS base.
The AOS is also connected to the engine by means of a rubber bellows tube secured with two spring clamps.
These spring clamps are difficult to access so cut through the middle of the bellows with a knife.
The new AOS already comes with a new bellows.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro.

First, i agree with all of Pedros listed points. Next, yes you can access it from the RR... grant - Tuesday, 28 May, 2013, at 8:34:30 am |

That's a normal-looking tee. Most look like that. *NM* Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Tuesday, 28 May, 2013, at 7:09:02 am |

Here's a pic of the access from the wheel well. grant - Tuesday, 28 May, 2013, at 8:19:53 pm |
