Well so far...

I have changed the oil and checked the filter. I guess I can't confirm that the IMS Guardian was working since there was no shavings really but that was a relief.

I also degreased the area in order to see how fast the leak is. The leak is getting worse it seems like and drips a couple drops to the ground a day. It use to be 1/2 - 1 drop a day before.

So should I drive the car like this until my clutch goes out and take care of it then? Or is it something you guys think I should just go ahead and do?

So Jake Raby has no chance at the labor & since he no longer distributes the IMSB the OP planned to install eventually anyway exactlly what is the ulterior motive? Maybe he is trying to remember why he pays to be a sponser on this forum? You owe the OP of this thread an apology for convincing the #1 man in the world most capable of helping him that it is not worth wasting his time on. How much longer will Jake Raby continue to risk offering invaluable information for free to those that need it?
I'm pretty hard headed, thick skinned and a pretty sh*tty wheel man. But I'm not an a$$hat. He has a pretty thankless job preaching to the perverted here, but he has changed 1 mind and saved 1 more M96. Now I just have to find a proper indy here in STL as you know Porsche tells me this aftermarket mod isn't something they will do willingly. If not my Dad and i will have to do it - he is a Master Tech but a vette man and warned me that I will have to get myself up to speed on the p-car's needs - He has never worked on one. Can't be a wrench wench wo a wicked weasel imho

Uh, you might want to preface something like this in the future with "NSFW".
