Great info all, especially John McM.
Looking at all of this info it seems I did install mine correctly even though I did not have the Porsche tool.
This was confirmed when I pulled my engine/trans again Saturday morning.
I was really pleased to find that my rms was dry, and that my leak was from an incorrectly fitted crankcase breather pipe. The oil was running down around the bell housing making it look like the rms. I just couldn't see it from up top with everything built up, I suppose I should have removed the airbox and maf etc to have a proper look. Doh!!!

Very relieved in one way, but feeling like a fool that I didn't spot it before dropping the
engine/trans.

Anyway very happy now she is all up and running sweet with zero leaks, and loving the difference of the lwf

Great to hear. Can you please explain exactly what was wrong with the breather pipe installation? I can see the Norma clip is low.

Great news... RMS seal sits as mine does... I think that painful exercise goes under category, "earning my strips"

Sure, I put the pipe on 'after' I put the motor back up, and after I fitted the left intake system. The problem was I could not see the bottom of the breather pipe as I attached it. I used the raised pip on the breather neck as a 'feeler' guide and I was confident the pipe was all the way home before tightening the Norma clip. It all felt right but It wasn't.

The method for next time would be to attach the pipe to the breather neck before raising the engine, and then once in place it would be easy to secure the breather pipe at the other (top) end.

I sure did earn my stripes on this.

Yep, great news for sure. It's good to know you did it right
