RMS, Oil Leaking, Problems
Discussion
Hello
just a quick update, despite the various ferrari owners on this forum thinking its fun to post random RMS problem posts, I have checked my weekly check and after almost a year of hassle free driving my 996 has a problem.
I believe there is suppose to be a patch of oil under the car and this is pretty much standard issue, I can however confirm that even though I overfilled the oil on last top up (about 4k miles ago yes I know, im a muppet) its not leaked one bit and is still above the max level on the dipstick.
shall I call OPC and ask them to fix my car?
obviously I have a issue that is against the norm.
please help.

just checked again, no oil leak, ive called 2 other 996 owners and asked them also, they are the same, no oil on the floor.
do you think it could be the weather or somthing having an effect on the cars not leaking oil propperly? im really worried now.

Speaking as a 993 owner, I have nothing to complain about so wish to object to these posts which are a breach of the Human Rights Act (Bitching Provisions) 2001 as amended.

I hear 993's dont leak or drip oil like a very small minority of 996's, they give no early warning "youve got a couple of thousand miles to fix it" type warnings, they instead empty the entire contents of the engine, is this correct?

No!Lifted from another forum and posted here as merely a public service bulletin
"All I can say without getting me or my friends in trouble, is that a high ranking Porsche employee, now works with a friend of mine.
I have so far found out the following:-
Radiators, huge problem both within the first two years and there after, worse on the 3.4's but still very bad. Bad design and not leaves rotting the cores to blame.
Average OPC changes between 6 - 12 RMS's per week!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will find out more as time progresses, though so far the info has come to me via my mate cos he knew of my troubles, and asked the questions"

And I have a mate who is a senior director within Porsche and he says "poppycock".
Quoting a mate of a mate is a bit like saying "there was this bloke in the pub who said his mate's sister's brother's uncle was an alien"
nervous said:
wait..... are you saying e wasn't and alien? well, that was a waste of a perfectly serviceable anal probe.
no, it turned out he was shed17 desperately trying to talk down 996 prices so he could buy one if anyone would ever buy his 993 that he keeps plugging is for sale in the classifieds
