Hello to all
the problems with the GT3 oil seal.
More than three times, and I is replaced oil seal in less than four months and does not stop leaking oil.
Is there a solution. Please help me. ((I used the original oil seal))

Had my 07 GT3 for more the 2 years now. I have a slightly weeping RMS, which doesn't drip in my garage at all. I cannot comment on what is going on with your seal.

Are you doing it yourself or having a Porsche dealer do the work?

Had mine replaced once and it's still dry several years later.

Is there one over this problem. Do not spare us the information.

what tool are you using to seat the seal?

^^ well, that could be the problem. It doesn't sound like the Porsche special tool to install the RMS.

I'm going to guess that is the problem, needs to be installed perfectly square and aligned and set to the right depth. Porsche has a special tool that they sell. Some have made their own using PVC pipe. They use bolts to pull the seal in evenly and securely. Obviously lube the seal in oil first. I think there is also a depth ring that needs to be installed to ensure proper install depth. This was part of one of the TSBs a while back. Some I think have been using the turbo seal with good results.

Parts from PET for .1:

99710226491 - sealing ring
99710126490 - spacer ring
All cars manufactured November 21st of 2007 already have this ring/spacer

Turbo part number: 99911342641, use with the spacer ring

One other thing, that outer ridge on the case looks very marred up from what was probably a screwdriver to remove the seal. The trick on these (BTW, I've never done a porsche, have done other cars) is to punch or drill a small hole and hook it with a hook tool or just catch the edge of what is usually the metal ring supporting the seal with a screwdriver and hook that to pull it out. Keeps from marring up the crank or the case.

If the seal is against that marred surface, use some very fine emery paper/cloth to make it smooth again.

Thank you very.
I did not use the ring Spacer, but looked at the picture.
There is a piece of metal with oil seal. ((Is it a ring Spacer))

Well, there you go and the reason I asked. There is a special tool that you need to buy (or borrow if possible) to seat the seal properly. If you try a hammer and block of wood you won't get it installed correctly.

Also.....You need to make sure you are using the correct seal as well as there are several versions.

Thank you, sir.
Is a special tool sold in the market. Or on the Web site
