Thank you HS, the only thing that is keeping me from moving forward is to confirm about the seal of the bolt.

According to the parts department at Circle Porsche it does not have a seal, and I am looking at the PET and does not show any seal, but I don't want to get going and then having to stop...

Worse still, would be doing the job improperly and having a leak that will damage the new clutch...

Edit:
Sorry but forgot to mention that when the sales person at the dealer was looking for the center bolt and seal, he mentioned that the bolt was not available by itself and that in order to buy the bolt I needed to buy the cover itself (at $140...) could be that the seal for the bolt only comes with the cover and bolt..?

Another question..
According to the shop manual you are supposed to replace the o-rings on the chain tensioners and according to the PET, at each tensioner you have a seal and also an o-ring, do you guys replace these seals an o-rings every time you loosen the chain tensioners?
