Did you ever cross over to the dark side and buy a motorcycle?

I washed my Porsche today and also washed the engine in order to see my oil leak that said to me in the PPI O(right valve cover leaks). With my mobile phone take a pic from the oil spot (not very good). I'm watching the oil level (was full) and the oil drops in my garage after using the car for 700 km(3-4 drops). Therefore is this leak dengerous for my engine? This oil leak must be fixed imidiately? Can wait for a few days before fix this damage ? It's my first PORSCHE and i'm very stressed with oil leaks .......

If you keep an eye out for your oil level you should be fine if it is a leaking valve cover. Your car looks nice all washed up.

Ahem, wasn't it really the case that your wife called you a ***** and said that if you bought one that you wouldn't be getting any more *****?

Funny thing, when I told her I wasn't getting a bike, we suddenly adopted a rescue kitten, um .. "*****" - for real - she's a 7 month old bronw tabby named Lily, and she's very sweet. Is that what you meant?? Was my wife trying to tell me something - like that was the only ***** I was going to get??

Bawhahahahahha!!!! ^^^^^^^

I thought the kicker was when your wife told you that if you got a bike, you couldn't wear any head gear when you rode it. That way if you were in an accident you would die right away rather than becomming a vegetable that she would have to take care of for years! Ain't love grand?

I did like that too... although, I did think that it was a fair comment to make.

The leak is not hurting anything but may be somewhat messy. Your car holds about 8-9 quarts of oil and would have to leak for a long time, possibly several months or even longer without adding to it to become dangerously low. If left alone the leak may become worse over time or it may stay the same. If it is convienent and money is not an issue fix it soon. If not check your oil weekly, add oil if low, and fix it when you can. It's a very minor thing, not woth stressing over.
