I don't know if this is good or bad, but the drip is from the left exhaust header. I attached a photo of the leak...

 

John,
Hmmm. 2004 and a leak there? Well, we know the impeller is right behind there and its spindle is fed with the engine oil. It sounds like the turbo spindle seals are suspect.
How many miles are on the car? Are these the stock turbos?
One last thing. Don't discount the possibility that the oil could be coming from higher up and dripping down onto the header although that seems somewhat unlikely given the proximity of the turbos.

Keep us posted.

 

4 weeks old with 300 miles....stock turbos. This bites! Time to go to the dealer and see what's up.

 

No turbo leaking there, look above on the valve cover. There is a drip on it. I suspect that the valve cover is leaking or the breather housing. This is unless the turbo is throwing oil up on the cover. Normally if the turbo is at fault the drip tank will be coated. It is not in the picture.

 

Look at the oil, upper right of the circle. This appears to be coming from above the turbo flange.

 

The leak is actually further to the rear...I will post another pic. It was "moving" forward and then dripping onto the header.

 

Aint that a *****. Seth @ Technical Dimensions might have some additional insights. Call him at 904-721-9700.

 

Without seeing a couple more detailed pictures it's hard to speculate but if you say it is dripping down from further toward the transmission and blowing back as you drive the car it could be a valve cover gasket, maybe a cam seal, variocam actuator seal. Does it look like where it is dripping down is from a location slightly above the valve cover? The turbine is probably not the issue unless the pressure line had a strange location pin hole leak that's pissing a stream up and toward the engine. Have seen stranger things. See if you can get the car off the ground a bit (use a jack stand while you're under there) and post a couple more pics so we can get a better view. Seth.

 

when are you taking it to the dealer?

 

Seth, sorry for the confusion...It is actually leaking from further towards the rear of the car and then running along what appears to be part of the block (you can see the drip above and right of my yellow circle in the first picture). I have attached a new picture with the actual source of the leak. Thanks!!!

 

I am calling Champion Porsche to get this thing in first thing tomorrow.

 

If that is actually where the leak begins then the pump will need to be resealed. Have seen that on older TT's- Shouldn't be leaking on a brand new car but it happens. They should be able to get that resealed in a day, maybe into the next depending on when they start. Seth.

 

What part is that????

 

I told you Seth was the man!
