Thanks for your help Guys.
Being a noobie and 1st time Boxster owner I am thrilled and excited to get on with it
Obviously will keep a sharp eye out for any oil leaks , and will have my IMS and RMS replaced
as soon as there is any visible oil marks on the floor !!
Mine is a 2.7 2000 model with 34K , so will be expecting the dreaded leak in the future
