I think your car wants you to drive it more.

As I'm sure most in this thread are aware, Porsche released a bulletin stating that the RMS leak is "normal" if it is not driven. Granted, I'm guessing we can all say any leak is not normal and it could have been them simply trying to get out of warranty repairs.

Also, my .1 had RMS rebar by McKenna Porsche by original owner. Second owner bought it then my as the third owner. I installed an RSS center delete and once again it started leaking. I lived with it for almost 10 years as it only leaked when parked and not when the car was running, as evidenced by a clean engine. The leak was small but not super small. I'll look for a pic and try to post up if I have the time. Anyways, I then installed a full Brombacher exhaust system and the leak stopped and never returned. So the dealer's stating that the leak can be caused by the exhaust, which I always thought was hogwash, well maybe there's something to that. Who knows.

What's alarming is that this warrantied RMS repair only lasted 2,000 miles. Who did the work, are they close and, if they are legit, will they replace again for free?

Mine had a small RMS leak, never a huge concern to me. Was maybe a drop or two after a couple of days of sitting.

If you replace with the Turbo rear main seal, it’ll stop the leak, but it will make a chirping sound at idle. I confirmed with Alex at Sharkwerks that this is normal and doesn’t cause any harm.

Good excuse for RS re-gear and flywheel / clutch package.

How many miles on your clutch with the RS conversion? you know?

I have to do mine (and it has the conversion), my PP is super stiff. I just sat and shifted two SW cars and theirs were butter compared to mine....

Let's drive when you can, pm or cell me.....Cheers, M

The RMS was replaced very early on in the car's life, due to what I can assume was some sort of leaking (don't have the full records from back then). I noticed a leak the same size as yours, when I first got the car; also some smoke on startup. It has gotten a lot better lately, as during the warm months, I drive the car every 2-3 weeks and get everything up to temp. It rarely smokes on start-up now, and also drips much less! I've read possibly every thread on this issue, twice, and it seems that this is normal for these engines. I've never come across a "perfect" solution to get it to stop weeping/leaking.
