Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well.

I recently got PDK maintenance service (35 days ago, at 49K Miles) of my 2011 Porsche Cayman (987/2) with PDK.

PDK Oil, transmission oil, and PDK pan filter were changed.

Before this PDK service, my PDK has no leak. Transmission cover and around were completely clear.

Since this PDK service, I put 250 miles on my Cayman.

Today, I checked under my vehicle and noticed an oil leak from the PDK area.

PDK Oil fill process was not executed with PIWIS system.

May this oil leak stems from the overfilling of PDK Oil?

Thank you,

If you can, I would suggest that you clean up what you see and determine if it's an active leak, or if it's from some spills during the service. That way you can determine what the nature is of that oil; I don't have a full picture but things don't look bad, at all, on the ground under the car.

That said, I always worry about this kind of thing during a gasket change because, sometimes, things don't get seated quite right, or the gasket is not quite to spec, or the tolerances between your particular PDK unit and pan, and the gasket just don't quite mesh for a good seal. If you can document that you have an active leak that only manifested after the service, I imagine that the shop would make things right for you.

Good luck
