Don't freak out too much - you do have a 9 year old vehicle and some problems are to be expected.
Let us know how things turn out!

Im not sure what you mean by 'spot the potentially imminent leak'.
If I know I allready have RMS, and people say I can still drive the car as loong as I wipe up the floor when I'm done
What is there to look out for ?
I have auto-tiptronic in my car so I dont know how that affects the clutch-replacement of the car, but I have decided to run it by another Porsche mecanic and let him check it out. If he says it's a 'RMS' and something I can live with for now, I guess I will wait...
Someone mentioned IMS - How do I tell the difference, Will a IMS be a complete leak and not just drips ?
Of course I will get back to this forum with a status after I have had the car in for another check
Thank you everybody for the response, it was very nice to hear from you 986spyder how you 'lived' with the RMS for such a loong time... for now I can live with the dripping like you did !
