Question GT3 mkII started to leak oil day after delivery

My 911 GT3 mkII came home one week ago today. The following morning I noticed a 3' puddle of oil on the floor and oil driping from the case. One week later, ie today, I just drove her back to the dealership and they were extremely concerned. Interestingly, since the car is so new, when they tried to enter the VIN number for parts, info, etc, they said there is still nothing n the computer.

Anyone have experience with this ( I truely hope for everyones sake this is an isolated case.) Could this possibly be the beginning of another rash of RMS failure?

This is all new to me, would appreciate any guidance.

A 3 foot puddle doesn't sound like RMS. Keep us posted and GL ...

Oh no.. here we go...

I'm telling you guys they really need to look backwards and just put the 996GT3/TT seal in. That will solve so much of this nonsense

Was that 3 feet or Inch size of a soft ball would still be huge RMS may be something else, for giggles take some pics of the case and where you see oil.
Sorry to hear it, I understand the frustration with that.

We should all just invest in kitty litter and hope that these cars get potty trained by the time they are 2-3 years old.

First off, IM not a troll. If any of you have tracked with Chin motorsports, I was #33 you saw pass you...

Second, My mistake, it was a constant 3 INCH puddle, not foot.

Third, if you want to see the car, its in orlando, who by the way is giving me great service.

Honest feedback is appreciated. Other less constructive critisism is not appreciated. Dont like it, RACE ME!!

Sometimes you can get great advice from blogs. You just have to sort thru the retards who like to hide and yell the sky is falling.
