Wow, that is interesting... Removing those heat exchangers is the only thing I really don't want to attempt in this car based on the broken stud horror stories... That would be a very dicey one to have to fix.

The ones on my engine are still originals and it looks like there is small leak coming from one of the easy-to-access ones, but like mentioned earlier, it might look better to do them all. However, My hands are relatively large. The fingers are not too thick, but they are long.

Thanks for the replies.

yeah I have same issue ... HE is high risk .. but i think when I do my cam tower gaskets i am going to do the base gaskets and oil return tubes at the same time.

This is perhaps off topic, but this past summer I drove the 911 to a nearby town, at high speed and in high heat. When I got back, the left side cam tower 0-ring underneath the cam sproket was leaking oil. A good amount of oil. I didn't stop driving the car, but I figured on a cam tower gasket replacement. About a week later of driving the car in high heat the leak stopped. In fact, if I took a picture today the engine would be bone dry, with a seeping type of leak on one of the rear flexible oil lines. I just thought I'd throw this out there. The car always leaks less after regular, frequent driving than when I drive it infrequently at irregular intervals.

that gasket on mine on both sides has leaked since I got the car .. not huge amounts but enought to make a mess. Doing that gasket meand retiming cams so I figure that is the time to do the base gaskets too since I think they are leaking also ..
