Small rear oil leak
A month ago I installed the cup bypass pipe, for this reason I took off the plastic sheet that is under the engine compartment, and since then I havenīt put it back with the excuse to clean it.
After I couple of weeks I have found a small oil leak under the car
Iīve cleaned the car to see from where it was comming, the leak seems to come not from the big block, but from some tubes that run in between the rear muffler and the rest of the exhaust.
I would like to know if someone has any experience with this, in that case what to do and at what cost.

Sounds like the metal oilline that goes across the rear of the engine (although the real leak may originate from somewhere else - chaincovers is a common culprit??) this line was changed on my car when engine was out for clutch job, but perhaps may be changed with engine in. Your best bet is to take it to Baltasar and ask for his opinion. By the way, we should meet up some day to share experiences...

Also the problem I have is that he is in Algete, a bit far away.

Luckily, the clutch job was done by PO a few months before I bought the car, and included clutch, and reseal of engine and some new oil lines to fix some oil leaks, and was done at Porsche, total bill 4000 Euros, of which the clutch was probably 1000. They didnīt change the DMF, though, saying it was in perfect condition?? Hope they were right...it may be the original Freudenberg still in there.. I will email you my contact numbers.
