991.2 Oil Leak
#34
I had a PDK leak on my '11' GTS. Found it at my first oil change around 800-1000 miles. The tech had to clean the area and then spray some sort of powder around the area with the leak. Put 200 miles on the car brought it back in and the leak, extremely small, was still there. They put in a new transmission.

What was the resolution for folks who are having a similar problem? Engine out service to replace the faulty oil pipe assembly?
I also found a similar oil droplet forming on the metal piece outside of crank pulley as JC68. No oil stains on the diffuser tray yet. Car has 2000 miles. It should be the oil pipe assembly that supplies oil to the crank. This is a 991.2 GT3/RS only part as now we have hollow crank that oil can flow through. I suggest all of .2 GT3/RS owners should take a look at yours.

I suspected the leak since I added a little oil and when I subsequently checked, the reading had not changed. So, on a hunch I asked them to have a look while the car was at the dealer for something else. They confirmed a tiny leak and ordered the parts I mentioned above. I'll keep monitoring and I'll have a look at the diffuser the next time the car is on a lift.

Well my car lost two marks on the oil indicator and i found a drop of oil on the diffuser ! But i didnt think alot of it . I thought the car was eating some oil during break in. Added 300 ml and all was fine !
The engine was dry 100% though !
Will check the diffuser again tommorow
mine was a september ‘18 production RS

I noticed my Manuel 2019 gt3 has a oil leak and bringing the car in Wed to the dealer. I noticed it when I was installing my SW Center by pass. A decent amount of the diffuser
I still went forward with the install. The Dealer shouldn't blame anything for a center muffler delete right? I dont see Porsche dealer making a big deal about Center muffler delete but I thought I ask
