Okay maybe it's just me but I have no idea what a pushrods tube is
The most common sources of oil leaks are many. It is not world ending as a lot if cars leak oil.
Oil return tubes
Triangle of death (oil sender, internal thermostat, breather cover )
Oil cooler seals
Valve covers
To a lesser degree:
Rocket shafts
BAse gaskets
Chain box -cam tower interface
Rms
Cam tower - head interface

Sorry, old habit on the pushrods tubes. Yes, they are oil return tubes. Ps, Corvairs were not Overhead Cam and the oil returned thru the same tubes the pushrods ran thru.
Back to orig poster, flush your brake fluid soon. Possibly the most over looked on cars not tracked regularly. Js

Mine is completely to pieces and i have found nothing overwhelming yet.

Hehehe taking it apart is easy...the difficulty would be to put it back together... I would end up with a 5 cylinder car, and some parts to do an ashtray!!! Hehehe
It would be fantastic if I had someone to help me do it and guide me...but the "do it yourself culture" is not as wide here as it is in The USA...unfortunately.
It's even hard to find a good honest Porsche specialist mechanic...there's always someone trying to rip you off.
I just recently changed the oil on my 964 and it was a very satisfying moment...a sensation of achievement...
Thanks

Hi guys...have the car doing a service, oil, plugs, valve covers, brakes pads, etc.
I've seen I'll have to invest in the near future in:
- exhaust system...should I go stock? Or "improve" sound, (without going bankrupt please). I have a G pipe on my 964 and love it...100 dollars "upgrade...
- clutch, should I go stock or reinforced? Will the car handle differently?
Would appreciate your opinions...

You say, without breaking the bank... that does not give too many options
I am doing this to mine, but you are looking at close to US$3K:
With these to quiet it down a bit...

Wow...if that sounds as it looks, it should be amazing.
Yeah, the 964 G piped sounds like a 3000 Dls system...for 200 dls....
I'm looking for a 1 single outlet system...should I go OEM or the spaghetti racing system? Anywhere I can hear sound differences? In The YouTube videos the sound improvement doesn't seems much...
That car looks fantastic, is it a 3.2 with a conversion?
