    RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Yup, Porsche of Arlington, my trusted partners in motoring, took her apart to make sure which seal was leaking oil. I found 19 spots of oil on my garage floor one day. Turned her around in the garage for the next 2 days to see if the leak continued. It didn't, but I took her in anyway to be sure. They are ordering parts tonight. Should be all fixed up by tomorrow. Got a nice Pepper on loan. Perfect service as usual. I'm the first Rear Main Seal issue encountered at the dealership for the 997. Oh well. It could be worst things. I'm shocked. This is the 1st P-car to ever leak oil on my garage floor. Can't wait to get her back. I think she was mad at me for cheating. Two days ago I bought a beater/hoopdee for my work trek into Washington, DC traffic. That Wilson Bridge Project is destroying cars left and right.

    Sorry to hear that Tony hope thats the last time you ever see any drops on the floor.
    Thanks for keeping us updated and confirming the cause.

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope everything gets sorted soon.

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Tony - I'm sorry to hear that too. Hopefully the fix will be swift and permanent.

    Wow - your first Porsche to ever leak oil? You must not have owned them long ago. Awhile ago, it was said that any Porsche that is not leaking oil is probably empty

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Darn, amazing they have not fixed that yet.

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Senior Holminator... I wish your baby a swell recovery.

    May I ask if this was covered by the warranty?

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Thanks Grant, Yarub1, Carlos, Tooner. Yup, covered by warranty. I'm feeling better about it. I took the Cayenne loaner in the woods tonight south of my house. I had a blast! Good car off road!

    Any recommendations for taking oil stains off of concrete?

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Good luck with your repairs...

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Tony,

    I hope your baby is returned soon- better than ever!

    Try some simple green.

    Let us all pray for Holminator's 997
    'May you stop leaking you beautiful piece of machinery'

    Same wish, man !

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Damn Holmi, very sorry to hear that!!!, lets see if everything works out good for you and your baby!!!

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Best wishes and a speedy recovery to good as new in no time!

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Thanks Alex, Stradale, Cartouche (Crazyland--funny!), Porker, & Surf City; pick up will be this afternoon. Jamie (one of my favorite technicians assigned to my car) took his time doing the repair; I like that because I know he does good work and quality is a lot more important than doing the job fast IMHO. Almost got all the oil off the garage floor. I'll try again today. Man, yesterday as 100 degrees with high humidity (no lie). It was like the Dante's 4th level of hell. I was sweating like a slave pickin' cotton!

    I'm taking her up to Atlantic City to hang out with my brother this Saturday. It will be my birthday! For you Marylanders on the eastern shore, lock up your daughters and hide your poker chips, 'cause I'll be rolling through on the way up north!

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Thanks Dilinger and thanks for those fat-a#$ cakes! Hahaha! Here's the tech readout from the dealer.

    Re: RMS confirmed after 16700+ miles

    Here's page two. I hope this helps others, with the same problem. I'm "good to go" for tomorrow's trip up to Atlantic City! Can't wait to get on the road! I bet I don't sleep at all tonight!
