Mike K. has had a couple himself.

I agree with you that it does not seem as prevalent with the GT1 derived Turbo/GT2/3 engine.

MMD, are you really going to give OCBen $1000 for just reading the text of your post? There must be a typo in there somewhere. In any case, I am relatively new here, and from the short time I've been participating, I think MMD, OCBen and many others contribute a lot to this forum. I suggest you guys bury the hatchet and move on to more positive things like . . . what was the subject of this thread again?

Maybe I can help: I had my RMS replace 3 times in the first 8 mos. of ownership. I was pissy about it because none of my past 60k-110k+ cars ozzed oil on friends driveway (brick) and required me to drive "Smoke infested Nissan Altima rentals" for more than a month of the first year of having it.

Good thing these are so much fun to drive when they are not in the shop.

Hey B:

3X sounds excessive, and I'm not being a smartass, sir...

Did you get a new motor out of the deal? I hope so.

I wonder if the same tech did the first 2 replacements?

99firehawk

thats really irevalant, changin t he seal isnt rocket science, any body who can pull the trans and has the tools can chnage the seal

500

Not really when it took the third try to get it right and that's assuming it's finally right now. Unfortunately over the years I've experienced even this simplest repairs not done properly the first or even second time.

99firehawk

there is no way to mess up a seal instalation, just becasue the seal leaked doesnt make it the techs fault, the rms is not always the source of the leak, the case bolts and the ims also leak, are they changing bith when the fix your leak?

OCBen

Please don't encourage him. You'll only invite more of the same. Just take this thread for example. The record here speaks for itself.

For some reason he thinks only hobbiests like himself bother to join these forums and he finds it hard to believe that engineers and scientists and technical experts are actually here as members of Rennlist. That's why he appears to have the impression that the more he reads about things on the internet and magazines the smarter he is than anybody else on these matters.

And as you've seen here, as soon as someone points out his inaccuracies he lashes out at them in a vicious mean spirited attack just as he attacked 99firehawk, a noted Porsche technician:
And then when I tried to give these guys a heads-up to let them know who they were dealing with, he lashes out at me in a profanity laced attack for exposing him:
In an apparent rage now he turns and lashes out at JasonAndreas, another techical expert, when Jason tries to correct him and goes out of his way to try to explain things to him:But for some bizarre reason he saves his most vile attacks for me - maybe because he knows I'm a standup guy and his vicious attacks merely betray his deep jealousies. But we can all see through his attempts at manipulation. How he always tries to manipulate things and make me out to be the bad guy when he is clearly demonstrating sociopathic behavior and himself is a passive aggressive bully. The record here speaks for itself. His posts speak for themselves.

500

I have read two separate articles about these seals not even being properly installed at the factory and one of the reasons for the redesign of the installation tool was to help correct this problem. Perhaps in the case here where it took three times to get it right, it could be possible the two new replacement seals plus the original 07 factory seal were all defective. Brad the installation of anything no matter how simple can be "messed up". Let's just agree to disagree on this one .

MMD

Get some psychotherapy, ignore my posts and re-read below to recognize you are an internet bully. You've attacked dozens of people here "unmercilessly," anything they do/say to defend themselves you use against them and attempt to persuade others that _they_ are the aggressors, they have nothing worthwhile to contribute and therefore they deserve your derision.

The vast majority of RMS issues have occurred where seals have either worn on the crank, or the crank has sat in one offset position for a long time causing deformation of the seal, and hence a leak. (People who don't drive their cars often!)



CDodkin
Thanks very much for this explanation. I have had two RMS and one IMS replaced so far (car is an 01 996). It is stored winters (Oct to mid-April). This year, I did notice a small amount of seepage immediately after removing from storage and local Porsche tech said that RMS was gone again. I decided to wait (based on good advice from felllow members) and oil seepage has completely disappeared. I suspect that some driving took care of the problem.
Your explanation of a deformed seal due to lack of use makes perfect sense. My thought is to start and run the car regularly (yes, I will get it to operating temperature on the road) when weather permits during the winter, therefore changing crank position.
Thanks again
Cheers
Ian

OCBen

The pleasure is all mine in entertaining you with my perfect foil.
