996C4 Oil level probs.

[chrish]

Recently had low oil light flashing so topped up with 1litre Porsche oil but after 100 miles dipstick showing minimum again. Previously had coolant expansion tank and valve replaced by specialist. Before that had new main oil seal and the specialist seems to think there may be a connection and wants authority to spend couple of hours to investigate.
Any ideas?

Couple of hours ?

Look in the expansion tank for oil, look at the dipstick for oil/water, look under the car for oil leaks (including geatbox as a failed RMS will cover the area with engine oil..)

Oil will either get burnt off in the engine or drip out - it has nowhere else to go ...
