Our two day old Cayman has left an oil spot on the floor. Small amount, seems to be driping from in front of right rear wheel. Any hints? RMS? Filter? Drain plug?

 

Time to make your first visit to the dealer and get a free wash!

 

hello, noob here... my first post in fact.

Did you have the leak diagnosed by the dealer? i'm curious to see what they say. i'm contemplating buying a Cayman. I hope it turns out to be nothing. Please keep us posted.

Thanks!

 

DON'T let them wash your car unless you enjoy the look of swirls... just some advice.

 

Isnt it usually cosmoline from new cars?

 

I don't think cosmoline would drip. It's just a heavy coating on the engine which would bake on it when engine is hot.

 

It's a Porsche no biggie they'll fix it! I remeber when it almost seemed like they were supposed to leak!

 

definitly oil. I suspect it's the seal at the base of the oil filler tube. It will go into the dealer on Friday. Everyday it seems to drip less and less...yes I checked the oil and it is only down a frac tion of a quart.

 

I've seen, many times, too much built up cosmoline gets hot and drips.
Looks just like oil....

Just like your turbo, when it was new, they all use a little oil at first.

Im not saying its not leaking oil, but dont be surprised if they say its not.

 

Maybe it is Cosmoline after all...seems to have stopped drippping for the moment. I'll botrher the dealer if it reappears.
