I have a 2001TT, I saw a dot or two of oil in my garage the other day. I initally thought it might be oil spillage from the dealer topping off the oil, since it was at the dealer a few days prior for some recall campaigns they were doing. I was concerned so I took the car to a friends garage and put the car up on the lift. He looked the car over and tells me both heads are leaking oil. Is this normal on a 2001, I think I think I read that somewhere. I would assume the dealer will repair this but what would this involve? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

it's absolutely not normal. It should be taken care of
immediately.

I just got off the phone with the Porsche service department, they said this is normal with the 996 Turbos and that the valve cover bolts need to be retightened. They said this is covered and will have it done this week for me. Any one else have this problem?
