Back to the shop -- deal with oil leak, and then deal with spoiler light.

Here the pic from the 997 GT3 RS decklid and wing from my car, adapted to the 996 turbo.Fitment is perfect. Needs a wrap.

I installed a new passenger side spoiler ram. Then I flushed the hydraulic system twice, since the Pentosin CHF 11swas very dirty. Replaced all 8 copper seals. Then I bleed the system, and did a 24 hr. pressure/ leak test. The ram length remained steady at approx. 81 mm overnight.

Reinstalled the system, everything functional.

Also, rebuilt a complete spare spoiler hydraulic system following the same process as above.

not today but last week changed out the voltage regulator on my alternator. I recommend doing this before full alternator. my car has just under 60k miles btw.
