There is a TSB on this issue.
If the crankshaft is out of round, Porsche will replace the motor.
Some of the leaks in fact were mis diagnosed. If the intermediate seal is leaking, and not checked, you can replace the RMS, till the cows come home, and it wont make a bit of difference.
The poll that was done on rennlist, showed that most people DID NOT have an RMS leak. Further, those who did have an RMS leak, had the problem fixed, with no other issues. The case of people having serious problems with their RMS, is not as proflific as a barrage of rhetoric emails suggest. Making sweeping genralizations to feed "one man's army", is I think unfair and unfounded.
Renntech.org has also talked about this. To me (I might be wrong) but it seems those people who have had problems with their RMS, are people who have either purchased a used vehicle that wasn't maintained properly, or purchased a vehicle from a reseller who is not associated with Porsche - or both - thus making this "problem" a regional issue with an uncaring reseller being the cause of the heart ache , rather than the company.

and 0% of those polled had a problem after it was rectified by Porsche.
I only know 1 person that frequents this board and another person on another board that continues to have a problem.

Jay, read my first post, instead of paraphrasing - stick with the facts, we can do without the rhetoric crap.
Can you read?

The poll at rennlist found that, AGAIN, only 2 people had RECURRING problems with the RMS. BUT if I didn't know any better and IF I frequented this and the rennlist board, I'd think that there was a serious problem with ALL of the 996's.
I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY RMS, AS DONT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF 996 OWNERS FOR EFFS SAKE!

Your poll is hardly statisically significant to begin with. If you had any experience with polling or taken the basic of statistics course you would know that people who had RMS leaks are more apt to participate in this poll than people that hadn't had an RMS leak - thus BIASING this "harmless poll" even further. This is so juvenile, it hurts.

The 40% that had a problem were CORRECTED by Porsche. I repeat the 40%, 40 percent that had an RMS were corrected by Porsche.

WHY WOULD I BE WILLING TO LOWER THE RESALE VALUE ON MY C2 WHEN ONLY 3 PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM HAVE A PROBLEM. DON'T MAKE A SWEEPING GENERALIZATION THAT LOWERS MY RESALE VALUES. You guys act like you are the only ones that own a 996.
