It has occurred: 2005 987S RMS

Haha so I'm chuckling that I'm the guy that has said over and over that I'm not afraid of RMS or what not and didn't think the problem was a big deal with the 987. I guess I get to eat my words!

A few weeks back when I was swapping my new wheels on the car and had it jacked up, I noticed the transmission case coated in oil. Over the past few weeks I've noticed some oil spots on the ground too.

So of course, "RMS" came to mind. I took it to the dealership yesterday and they replaced the rear main seal.

My car was built around March or April of 2005. In checking the TSBs I see that they redesigned the seal yet again on May 17th, 2005, so my car still had the older seal.

30,000 miles before I had a leak. We'll see if it happens again. I have an extended warranty so no fear. Really, this seems like a pretty minor problem--not like intermediate shaft failure--but I would expect Porsche to be covering it even outside of warranty and my understanding is that they don't. So yeah, that sucks.
