    2002 996 Oil Leak

    I have a 2002 targa and just noticed drops of on my garage floor. The oil seems to be coming from the rear edge of the plastic underbody of the car, and behind the oil filter and tank! any suggestions on what might be the cause. the car has 23K miles on the new motor.

    Rear main seal ??

    If its on the centre line of the car this is a good bet !

    Maybe not an RMS. Had the same. In the end there was another issue (only know name of the part in French).
    You need to bring car to a garage, lift it and check where it comes from. Would be suprising a RMS on a new engine. Was it replaced because previous blew-off?
