Paul, Drip trays came as standard with my 914 back in 2001, and I see
that the 2015 914 installation manual still calls for them to be fitted
and shows a diagram on p93. It could be that this relates to the high
manifold pressure having much greater liability to fuel leaks than the
normally aspirated 912s. Have to say I have never noticed any hint of a
leak, but it could be of course that the system vents it harmlessly out
through the air vent, which would not have been the case had it dropped
on the exhaust!
