Sounds like Marbles, Oil Everywhere
Can't believe it happened to me. Flat bedded to Dealer last night. Tranny pulled, intermediate shaft. 
CPO though so hoping for the best.
The sensation is like a bunch of marbles banging in the engine. I stopped immediately but it looks like it didn't help.

It was dark when it happened but I got down to have a look. Oil was coming from front of the engine where it hooks into the tranny.

What I'd really like to consider is putting a GT3 engine in. It's supposed to be the best of the wet engines to date.

Raby's upgrade doesn't sound bad afterall............
Why couldn't Porsche just you a friction bearing like the older 911's?
The old magnesium cases had the IMS ride right on the case with no bearing!

I guess I see it differently. How about if all of us that haven't had any issues post up - would Raby's "upgrade" sound like its worth it then? Doubtful. But as usual, this is a discussion that will always arrive at the same destination, aboard the failboat.
