Default 964's all leak???

I have read in Adrian's fantastic book, that all 964's leak water. That would mean, coupes, targa's and convertibles.

Please respond if your's leaks. Also, do older 1977-1988 also leak?

Have quite a list of things that need attention... water leaks arent one of them. Even my soundproofiing inside seems fine, other than a bit of age (no water).

Oil leaks... if there are any they arent much. I havent seen a drip yet.

I was dreadfully worried about the sunroof, but it doesnt leak to my surprise.

Mine doesn't leak... water. I have one small drop of oil that falls to the carpet pad under my engine every time I back it in and turn it off. One drop every time.. Then nothing.

I had a Targa years ago that leaked like a sieve... But that's to be expected with a Targa I suppose. That was one reason I purchased a coupe.

I am high and dry.

No water leaks in my coupe with a sunroof.

Minor oil leak at right rear corner (power steering pump seal above right heat exchanged) now repaired with new rubber seal.

So no - no leaks at all of any kind.

No water leaks. An occasional oil drip ... maybe 2-3 drops per week. Seems to leak a bit less if i drive it a lot, which i don't normally.

Drove my Targa around the block in a hard rain once - no leaks. That was the only time i have taken it out in foul weather. I have also never seen evidence of leaks while washing it.

Oil: need to replace the seal on one oil return tube and the o-ring on the pressure sender. other than that no leaks.

Oh yeah, i am still trying to find the radiator - luckily it has not leaked either. ;-)

I have minor oil leak from time to time, say a drop in a week something like that. Normally no leak after new gasket put in but starts to leak again after six months or so!

I also had the power steering oil leak about three years ago but it was easily dealt with.

Cheers!

No water leaks.

Oil 'sweating' as it tends to be called, but not really leaking.

A bit of oil running out, but no water getting in...

When I lived in Switzerland, my car had its fair share of rain in the outdoor parking lot of my company, and I never detected any humidity inside the car.
