Can Someone Look at this Leak...**UPDATE**
Car is in for service and there was some oil found. Here is a link to the video. Let me now your thoughts. I wonder if it’s from the last oil change, that was done by a non-Porsche dealer. I say this only because of where he found it. Maybe just clean it up and see if it leaks later on. https://qkvideo.net/main/job-client/...27cd61771883ed |
I’m leaving it at the dealer, the CPO is still effective until next year. We will see. |
Not good. I hope it's nothing. Keep us posted. I like how the Tech/Dealership provided the video.
How many miles from the indy oil change to today's? |
I’ll certainly keep you guys posted. Don’t know about mileage, but about one month since the last oil change. |
I hope it was just a ****ty job of capturing the oil from the filter when an oil change was performed.
But I would suggest just to do a good clean up and see it it returns. |
Could be a leaking chain tensioner. Be sure to get service to send you an image ruling this out. After the oil clean up, the chain tensioner, if the culprit will still be wet. It is easy to see, unless you are not looking.

I think I know what happened and it’s very stupid. I’ll wait to hear back from my service advisor. You guys will laugh when I update you next week. Pretty confident I know what it was. Don’t think we have any issues.

Looks to me like a spill when adding oil. The "leaked" oil appears quite clean...

That scares the crap out of me after fighting a 8 year leak on a 964.

The drip looked like new clean oil to me. I was also thinking overfill. Cleanup and monitor. Good that you have the active CPO just in case. Try not to worry. |

From experience, oil has to be added slowly through the fill hole or it will spill out around the opening and make a mess. You can't just empty a liter of oil into a large funnel and let it go. This usually drips onto the driver's side exhaust system, but I guess if you spill enough it could end up dripping from the oil pan.

Update for everyone. It’s a front crankshaft seal that they are going to replace. I’ve heard of older 911s having this issue, but not a 991. Anways, they are working on the car now. I’m glad they found the issue and it’s being taken care of. |
