Slight oil smell when hot sitting still. Coils will be done,plugs already done. Valve cover gaskets? Water pump? What else while he’s in there? Plan to keep it a while.
Thanks

New kitchen so no new Cayenne

 

I had that smell and I had a slight weep in my valve cover gasket so I had that replaced - seemed to do the trick. Did the rest of the 40k service at the same time.

 

Should I do water pump?

 

I have a 2013 Turbo and when I did the coils and plugs I also did the water pump, serp belt, pulleys, and thermostat. I did the work myself. When I pulled out the water pump and examined it, the bearings were definitely on their way out. I don’t know what they will charge you because they will have to get a bit deeper into the engine to get the therm and water pump. If you’re keeping it, I would do the water pump and therm. Peace of mind.

 

Keeping it.
