Hello:
I just got my 08 RS back from service after a 2nd attempt at 2,460 miles - It didn't leak when I got it home from the shop yesterday, but after taking it out this morning when I got home after less than 100 miles I see oil coming from the same spot.

I'm truly concerned at this point because when it went in for its 1st oil change at 1,500 miles oil had never made it to the floor but the tech recommended it be changed ("new" part was not available at this time - January 2008). It started leaking oil the 2nd time around 2,300 miles.
So the question is should I even try again or just live with it knowing that the oil may affect/damage the clutch over time only if I put extensive mileage on the car.

At this point I decided not to put much mileage on the RS (2,000 max/year), which is sad because I bought the RS to drive and limit use of my Ferraris.

 

Here also oil leaking mine with less than 2000 miles and 3 more from my friends.
Hmmm really bad from a premium car.!!!

 

I'd bring them the car back as long as it leaks. Their problem to fix.
Just had the RMS done on mine, so far so good. Ferraris have their own issues, but they stand mileage very well if you don't care about depreciation.

 

The RMS issue and the factory/Porsche solution is both sad and ridiculous.

 

Take it in....sounds like a new engine after 3...or a new car in my state (Lemon law)...

Good luck.
