Hi all, just bought my 1st Porsche, a 2000, 3.2 S - yesterday. Did a bit of research before purchase but today, on YouTube, I watched a clip about buying a used Boxster and to NOT buy one that has a 'mayonaise' type residue on the underside of the filler cap.
I then went straight out to check my car- which I purchased privately- opened the cap and saw a thin film of a white substance under the cap and on the filler tube neck. It was a very small amount.
Should I be very worried? Advice please!!!
Going to immediately phone main dealer tomorrow morning to book in for it's 60,000 service anyway but all replies appreciated.
