RS Clutch Replacement?

It feels like I be needing a new clutch very soon.
What you recommend for replacement,stick to the GT3RS OEM or try something new and better?
THKS.

Just out of curiosity, how many miles do you have on your car?

Ufff.... Well you ask, Don't ask me how it happened it was that way when I got it, but it only has 4,000 Km. and its liking oil from what they think is a crank-shaft seal. but we will get that boy back in shape fast.

What makes you say the clutch needs to be replaced? Unless you - or the previous owner - have scratched the clucth a lot, there should not be enough damage to warrant a replacement after only 4,000 km. There has to be something else wrong with the car.

Well the car went thru a lot of traffic hours in Mexico City and some hard track days as well, no dealer will guarantee brake pads or clutch down here (And I can understand it) but the question is related to a good or better replacement option other than the OEM. I really don't want to get into a long argument if it needs it , how it happened or if the guarantee should cover it I just want to get it fix with the best possible replacement if there is one.

TKS

If it's leaking, then your car probably needs a new Rear Main Seal, not a new clutch.
Porsche should cover the RMS under warranty, it is a well known 'feature' of 997 GT3s/RSs.
