does it leak after a drive like little drops ? unless its leaking heavy I will not worry to much until you can take it in to a proper Porsche mechanic and check it out first what needs to be done.

It leaks...ok

Everytime you fill it, use stop leak.

I had a car that sat for 10yrs, leaks a qt a day, after a week it was _moderately_ dry.

Not optimal, but.....

Where is it leaking? My '82 was leaking like a sieve at the banjo bolts leading to the transmission cooler up front. I replaced the lines for about $20. The old lines go bad around the crimp fittings.

Yes it leaks little drops. It doesn't seem to leak when it's just parked. It leaks after I drive it and park it. I had a transmission guy lift it up and I peaked at it. It looked like it's leaking from the front mainly but it was wet all over the place. I got some stop leak. Does anyone know if there's a fill area other than the cap on top of the transmission? That looks like a bugger to add fluid to. I have not read the owners manual on this. Just asking 1st. I'll put my nose in the book.

Nope, thats it.

Fill it when warm, and never open the cap when not running. You will greatly regret that...never when not running.

A gear oil fluid pump will do it from your 1qt bottle just fine.

Fill to the warm line on the plastic tank down there.
