Errrrr. No, and no.

A pleasureable couple of days at handsome speed. All over Europe.

No leaks, and no engine issues.



Is this unusual............?

I shall.

I have just discovered a small sweat from my rear end.


Is this covered under warranty? Or should I eat less curry?

Oh yes.




I heard a noise from my 996 when I accelerated today. It was RMS of course. REAL MEAN SHOUTING from my howling and very healthy engine........

Is it just a show or is there an actual trickle? You should notice a small puddle when stood for a while.

You may just need the back end stripped and filled.

Some of us with proper dry engines dont suffer from such problems

Instead we deposit the oil on the floor from the entire engine LOL!

My 996 is also failing to need a new RMS, should i report this to Porsche GB as it seems you are not a real 996 driver unless you change the RMS at least daily.......?

My Boxtser also stayed dry for over 2 years - am I driving them wrong?

It appears that with six years and two Boxster Ss and nary a drop of oil anywhere it shouldn't be I, too, am missing out on the true Porsche experience.

Luckily my TVR has been an unreliable pile of poo to make up.

Honest chaps its brilliant but no one could call the fecking thing "reliable" that would be going too far.

What you need is to fill your engine with ZYMOL then you won't leak oil from yer RMS.
