Isn't it the one that they put under the car when they ship it in US?

Very common on Porsche.

Mine has one small leak since day one. 4 months so far and I've not fixed it. Dealer is waiting for me to bring the car in. Busy track schedule don't let me fix it yet.

Never had a drop in 4.5 years of my 2000 996 (2 diff engines).

Scott, I know someone with a GT3 that had an oil leak and now he claims it went away, keep an eye on it.

Those my friend are tears. Tears of pain and anger. 100 miles on a machine made to move and its sitting in the garage.


Okay... maybe get it checked out but please... break that thing in!

Life -- I'm just waiting on my driveway to be paved this week, then it's off to the races. Right now it's a 4" drop out of the garage onto dirt... :-(

Puddle of oil was about 8" across this morning. It's at the dealer now.

Sounds like quite an oil leak you got going there. Please let us know what the dealer finds.

Scott, I am very interested to find out about your diagnosis as I have the same problem. My dealer is aware, but I have not had time to have it serviced. I think mine is the RMS. Let us know what happens.

Not yet, they're supposed to be taking a first look this afternoon, but I'm guessing they don't get to it 'till tomorrow...

my RS carbon wing did arrive from Gert today! Alas, nothing to put it on -- don't think it would fit right on the Cayenne-T.
