Hello all - some help please...

I have a 2006 997 Turbo and during cleaning yesterday I noticed some clear, oil like substance under the tyre inflator (the triangular one) in the front boot. Don't think it is oil or gear box fluid...

The fluid seems to be coming in from the left hand side (as you face the car, looking down).

Anyone know what this could be? Is it brake fluid?

Thank you in advance...

 

If it is greenish check your brake fluid reservoir. If it seems oily on the top or sides that is probably the source.

 

Thank you....It's not greenish....posting a picture. This was full of fluid before I cleaned it. More has seeped through

 

Probably clutch reservoirs. If the slave and accum are going bad this will happen. They share a res with the power streeriing, ck that the pwr str res isn't also leaking. Potential fire hazard.

 

check your tire sealant... If it's leaking you see oil there too.
Happened to me, replace the sealant with a tire plug kit.
The sealant made a mess in its little compartment too.

 

Thank you everyone. I will check.....and take to Porsche on Tuesday
