Doesn't seem correct...any bolts/screws lose causing the seal to leak? Is this a seal from PDK to something or something totally different? As far as I know Porsche doesn't allow PDK seals to be replaced...you have to replace the entire PDK transmission. Lucky its under warranty....will a local Porsche dealer or factory fix this before car is shipped to USA?

Okiedokie then, 5 more days at the Ring so they may need to mount a vat of gearbox oil in the car..

Got new Dunlop tires today, new pads and front rotors so that should carry me through two days of TF, today and tomorrow and 3 days of Scuderia Hanseat Monday through Wednesday.
Couple laps from the Granturismo event yesterday and the day before; 7:36 and 7:32 with the part between Gantry and the bridge.Still a lot to learn.
Some traffic, much hesitation. I stopwatched the straight between Gantry and Bridge at 24 seconds, so that puts my sub 8 for a full lap I think. Still a looong way to go.
Hopefully the fresh Dunlops will give me a bit more confidence.

Those are monster times for an amateur driving own car on a track shared with others. The diff btw that and a professional driving a factory prepped car on an empty track should be especially large at Nring — a track with many blind high-speed corners coming onto long straights, requiring commitment and the confidence that a clear track awaits beyond. The risk/reward equation is different between the two scenarios, as well, and starts affecting the laptime diff exponentially more the faster the pace becomes.
