Im driving the car without any problem with leaking gaskets! But sure It may come problems with it later on.
The biggest issue for now is corrosion and light rust on bolts in the engine compartment. I dont know why it has that? Its as new in all other aspects!

Withou reading back through the thread to see if it has been said...CHANGE THE BELTS!

gb.... let me guess... that 951 was last driven in 1989 when it was wrecked?

I bought mine back in July with 67k miles on it. The car had hardly been driven in the last three years. It instantly started leaking as soon I as started driving it. Had to replace all front seals and hoses. Still have a leaking oil pan.
Evil things happen when German cars aren't driven!

Mine just turned over 10,000 miles. 89 951. Bought it with 6000 miles. Did the belts, several gaskets and even the water pump just to be safe. Still have the original tires.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I looked for one with higher mileage. So far, all I have is a leaky balance shaft seal and oil pan gasket...had to be the oil pan...

*89 951 purchased with 30k on the clock, I add around 3k per year, has always had fluid and belt
changes on time, for peace of mind on the last belt change I had all the cooling hoses replaced as
well, so far no leaky seals and gasgets ( apart from power steering pump which has been fixed)
