Strange, where all those metals pieces come from??? You got those from the reservoir drain plug?

Daniboy

NO. This came out of the engine drain plug.

Daniboy

What is best guess?

jpflip

Ouch.... I'm sorry but I got no clue and cannot identify wehre those parts are coming from.... May be the oil pump???? Anxious to read comments...

Daniboy

I haven't seen anything on ay forum looking like this. Can anyone identify what this bottom end part could be? I need help to determine the extent of rebuild I am going to have to find.

Daniboy

The aluminum and steel metal came out of the engine oil drain, not the external oil drain.

I hate to say this but I think you threw a connecting rod through the top of the engine block. That piece you pulled from the crank case looks like part of a rod bearing.

Daniboy

What is considered the top of the engine? I have a large oil leak between the transmission and engine. Would that be the area?

jpflip

Yes looks like the oil leak you had comes from a hole in the engine case probably on the top side....

Daniboy

Who can do a rebuild or in this case probably engine?

Daniboy

Maybe it is just done and time to sell for scrap.
Shame since I only have 60k on itl.

For sale. 2003 Posche TT with 65,000 miles. ENGINE has a thrown rod I think. Everything else stock except muffler. I have original though so I goes as well. Must pick up in Spokane or arrange puckup. I am very sad at this moment. I am mechanically inclined but I don't know how to do a car like this. Just a regular drive, and it went. I don't know why. For sale to highest bid. New tires. Aftermarket stereo nav system but I have the original. Five o Nine 2o23297.

I understand your feelings, it is difficult, but give you a chance to get a proper evaluation of the problem. Get it tow to a good shop and get an evaluation by a specialist....

Rule #1. Don't panic.
Rule #2. Diagnosis over the internet from a couple blurry pictures is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Find a shop that specializes in Porsches and have the car towed there.

Daniboy

Professor you are a very true optimist. I am thankful for you and you sound advice. I have a lift and have two mechanic friends coming Tuesday to help me get the engine and tranny lowered. I will snap some photos at that time and then go from there. Thank you for slowing me down.
