Default Update on RS leak

We didn't get to the stage of installing the stock exhaust. The tech decided to take apart and clean the crank shaft seal and drove the car on several occasions and reports no leak. Let's see what happens.

Good news, Porsche have just refused to cure my crank seal leak due to a Sharkwerks bypass.... I am currently compiling a report to state that the part can have absolutely no bearing on this leak at all.

If this is of any help I also suffered a crank case leak. I do not have any exhaust modification. I believe Corsican in the middle east had the same problem and I do not believe his exhaust was modified either.
I must say that the Porsche regional field tech gave me some crap. His report mentioned that my car had a roll bar and after market front rotors (that is all the mods I made) that they do not have to honor the warranty as per their owners manual ! Wahoo. They however honored my warranty.

Find the thread hear where some 50 to 70 owners reported RMS I bet most do not have the bypass or, like me they had the leak before the bypass was installed. There is an arbitration provision in your warranty book I would like to see them prove the connection or explain why it happens without the bypass.
