So driving home last night and all of a sudden a rock in the middle of the road I see it to late to swirve so I go over thinking its not that big and crack, I here a thump and a I have a crack in my oil pan. Its about half an inch long. And leaking very slowly so I patched it up with sealant for the mean time that way it doesn't leak all over my garage. Any of you guys now what I'm looking at $$ wise? Thanks.

 

Check to ensure just the oil pan was damaged. If so, upgrade to the X51 oil pan for $220.

Yup just oil pan I put the car on stands and checked all underneathe and their is only a leak coming from the pan. Seems like a good upgrade also I think ill buy the skid plate to just incase. Thanks for the quick reply

 

Since you're in California, try Sunset Porsche in Oregon. Their prices are 15% above their cost and shipping is cheaper than from Florida.

You should also get the sealant since I recall there is no actual gasket between the engine and the oil pan. Clean the surface well!

I like and have used both Suncoast and Sunset. They are both great and the prices are similiar. I am not affiliated with either too. Just a happy customer.

 

BTW-Newport Beach Porsche is very reasonable also. They have given me great discounts on a number of OEM parts....

 

Thanks for the great info guys. Currently my car is on jacks and the small crack is patched. No more leaks. Looks like ill be riding my bike to work in the rain tomarrow ;(

 

Well I called walters porsche in riverside and they quoted me $540 for parts,oil,and labor. Sounds like a good price plus I have a %15 discount coupon. lol

 

Bran- sorry to hear of your misfortune again. Let me know who your advisor is down at Walters if you go down, also you got another coupon =)

 

Tell me about man I was pretty bummed. I was up all night till 4 am trying to patch it. I wanted to make it to the meet but theirs always next year hopefully.

 

Wow they try to charge me list +10% would love to hear how you swing a discount.

 

I am not sure. I generally purchase parts from Sunset but I have bought a number of items from Newport Beach Porsche over the last six months and have been given equal or lower pricing. Billy Alexander is their parts guy and he has been great to deal with.

 

What oil pan are you referring to & where is it?
Thanks
