    Oil leak oil leak oil leak

    does any body know what causes oil leak in most Porsches? my friend got his 997S 6 months ago, and I read all about oil leaks on the forum and saying to my self what does those guys do to their cars? and suddenly, it happened to my friend on his second service checkup. this means the engine is not successful. I have a 996 for two years now, and doing all the service on time and now I got oil leak too! and the service manager says it's normal?
    Im telling you guys Im going to buy a 997 and get rid of the engine and put on a japanese engine turbo charged plus it's cheap to fix...bye bye

    Huh!? I think it is better to get rid of the 997 and buy a Japanese car instead. No matter what engine you're going to put, you're upsetting the balance of the car.

    i want to believe he is just kidding otherwise he is a KID !

    Makes sense to me...

    The first thing I did with my car was switch out my engine for a HYUNDAI engine. Well worth it. I have 97hp, no leaks and 95mpg

    Haha...Hyundai is Korean car, not Japanese car. And I doubt that they've the same reliability history of Japanese car like Honda/Toyota...

    is going to get ridiculus...

    Re: Makes sense to me...

    Ok guys.. no body understood what im saying ... i love Porsche.. but all cars now have 4 or 5 years warranty , Porsche gives only 2 and not only that , but you also have to accept that your Porsche will have oil leak now or later or might have leak and they will not till you until the warranty is over just like they did to me !
    and if you guys think because it's the fastest car you have to give and take then you are wrong because most manufactures now have faster and half price and no engine problems.
    I wish i can stay with Porsche, but if it will not fix those problems then bye bye for Porsche

    Here in the USA they do have a 4 year warranty. And, I have had my 996 for almost 7 years and I have never had an oil leak. There have always been faster cars, but very few cars with the combination of speed and handling that Porsches offer.

    I don't know how much you drive your car , I know americans drive their Porsches in the weekend only .. I drive my Porsche daily to work. I do about 25000 km a year.

    Three P-cars and never had a speck of oil on the garage floor. Average about 22k per year on each car. Lots of isolated back roads around my area for fun-performance drives. I think maybe an oil leak is not normal.
