Yes, someone. My solution to a numb *** is going to be to change the geometry of the seat, lift it up a bit in the back, lower it in the front, if possible.

I cleaned it took it for a drive and noticed a fluid leak looks to be clear but definitely petroleum based it's on the drivers side of the car forward of the motor I can't get it high enough to see what it might be. Any ideas before I drop it off to the shop?

Slave cylinder leaking?

blazen244

Mine is a tiptronic would I have one of those I'm not sure?

Carlo_Carrera

Tips do not have a slave cylinder.

Might just be an oil line or fastener.

Smell it, any sulphur smell? Put a drop on white printer paper, any color to it?

blazen244

Sometimes my car has an acrid burnt smell coming from the engine when I turn it off. It almost smells like a burnt clutch but the clutch operates flawlessly, also there is only 18k miles on the car.There are no drips under the car. Anyone notice the same thing?

Carlo_Carrera

That is the Porsche smell. They all have it, least all the ones I have owned, even my current Tip. I think it has something to do with cozmoline or the glue used with sound insulation.

That's why this forum is great. Thanks for the info, the thought of burnt clutch freaked me out.

And once you realize that's all it is, you'll come to love it.

Yes, my father had 911s when I was a kid. The smell is iconic.

Took it out for a cruise up the coast and up Kanan Dume. Top down. Though PCH was pretty crowded...
