Took car in for schedule service and just been notify by the service advisor that the car might have RMS or Flange issues.just gave service advisor ok to pull transmission.
Up until 15 minutes ago, no signs of RMS/leaks ( no oil spot on garage floor).. Damn..Damn...ruin my plans for the weekend..

 

They can fix the rms in 5 hours.
Weekend saved.

 

I had a similar experience, turned out to be a false alarm, RMS is 'ok' according to the dealer.

 

My RMS leak was also misdiagnosed- it was a crankcase seal and was replaced. Crank and case were well within specs and I installed a new clutch at the time.

 

They replaced my RMS. I had to leave it at the dealer overnight.

Luckily they gave me a Boxter S as a loaner.

 

carcrazee,
is the weekend saved?

 

Carbonissimo.... w/e is save ..picked the car up last night. it was the flange. Went ahead and replaced the rms too while they had the tranny out.

 

Wonder if more of these RMSs' are actually the flange gasket instead?

 

carcrazee,

Glad to hear the weekend was saved.
You qualify for the RMS club now!
