To Anthony: I'm going to leave everything you said alone. Clearly you're dealing with a bunch of personal issues and you need someone to take it out on. I'm sorry - I am not the cause of your bad life, and I'll leave it at that. You've now relegated yourself to a detractor from the peanut gallery, and that's fine. As a Rennlist site sponsor I pretty much have a duty to not head down the rabbit hole and keep the threads on topic.

To the OP: Please don't discount what I was suggesting, and it is very important to note that your rebuild perhaps didn't get done correctly because whereas I have seen a lot of stock motors leak, I have never seen a motor that was rebuilt 50K miles ago leak quite to that extent. What I was suggesting was that there was perhaps some sub standard work done to cause that much of an oil leak. I noticed some posters suggest that it was all par for the course with a 964, but I totally disagree - there is oil on the muffler for crying out loud. If that isn't a sub par rebuild, I don't know what is.

You do not need a new case. The case you have will be perfectly fine and you'd be very satisfied with even a simple reseal in the hands of a competent engine builder to make it right. Note, we don't offer any of these services but I can suggest a half a dozen people located throughout the country.

^^^ LOL This is all water under the bridge for me. Nothing to loose here I spent thirty years in this field and worked summers since I was thirteen with a grandfather who's R&D pioneered the industry. I had some of the best foundryman in the country as my mentors but go ahead and discount what I am saying since it does not align with your needs.

To the OP I have seen more than my share and wouldn't loose sleep over it. This is so typical of these cars with leaking hoses and gaskets that can easily be addressed. Most likely they were never changed during the rebuild. Like I said There are a lot of shops that will tell you you need to split the case in instances like this. It's easy money and can't tell you how many I have reworked for people after being told they needed a rebuild. Granted without further investigation by cleaning and driving it for a while it is impossible to say but I always suggest doing the least invasive approach first. I saved this 993 owner from having an expensive engine rebuild and after running it the engine is still perfectly dry I have a 964 coming next week that will be the same situation. Several shops said he needs a rebuild and I can and will guarantee it does not. I will happily document the process to prove what I am saying.

Here my thoughts one of the posters above always has good advice and is willing to share his knowledge and the other seems to have a real problem with anyone having a different opinion than his I am Gods gift to the Porsche world attitude just saying

I’d very much like to see this documented with pics and your always insightful commentary.
